The negotiations over Cunha's proposed transfer are said to be ongoing, with Manchester United reportedly willing to pay the £62.5 million release clause, plus a further £2.5 million in add-ons. To help fund this deal, Manchester United may consider selling Joshua Zirkzee, who has been at the club for less than a year, or loaning out Rasmus Hojlund, who joined the team a year ago.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have also made a move for Cunha, but the striker is seen as more likely to join Manchester United due to their commitment to rebuilding their squad. Manchester United's investment in their team could provide a fresh start for Cunha, particularly after their recent Europa League final appearance.
