Cunha completed a permanent move to Manchester United for a club-record fee last month, following two-and-a-half years at Wolves, on a five-year contract, with an option to extend by a further year. The Brazilian finished his Wolves career with 33 goals in 92 appearances and was recently crowned Wolves Player of the Season following an impressive campaign but now moves on for a fresh challenge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt is hard to find words to describe this moment. It is a dream come true. Sometimes, it is difficult to believe I am really here. This club has always meant something special to me. There is a funny story \u2014 back home in Brazil, we could only watch the Premier League at my grandma\u2019s house because neither, my house nor my cousins had the channel. So, every weekend, we would plan to watch matches at her place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"My cousin, who is older than me, supported Manchester United. He was the one who introduced me to the Premier League \u2014 and to United. Even when we played on the gravel pitches back home, which is very common in Brazil, I would imagine playing for United. To be here now and to think back to those moments \u2014 it is incredibly emotional,\" Cunha said on Jio Hotstar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 26-year-old hit a memorable strike in the club\u2019s FA Cup win at rivals West Bromwich Albion in January 2024 and claimed only Wolves\u2019 second-ever Premier League hat-trick in a stunning success at Chelsea one week later.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Last season the attacker finished as the club\u2019s top scorer with 17 goals \u2013 six of which were nominated for the Goal of the Season award, including two in a big win at Fulham and an \u2018Olimpico\u2019 strike against United on Boxing Day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
