According to reports, the document has already signed between two clubs and the player, his release clause cost 62.5m British Pounds.

Cunha will become Ruben Amorim’s first signing of the summer as he looks to rebuild a squad that finished 15th in the Premier League – and the club have moved swiftly to seal the transfer on the opening day of the window.

The 26-year-old is set to sign a five-year deal at United with the option for a further year.

Cunha leaves Wolves as a club-record sale after United met his £62.5m release clause, agreeing to a structure of payment over two years. His signing is subject to visa and registration, say United.

Five Premier League teams, including United, wanted to sign the Brazil international this summer.
