According to Shearer, Manchester United's current attack, consisting of Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund, is not effective and the team needs to bring in more talent to improve their chances of success. Wolves striker Matheus Cunha has emerged as a potential target for Manchester United, but Shearer believes that signing him alone will not be enough to turn the team's fortunes around.
Shearer suggests that Manchester United need to sign at least six or seven new players to make a significant impact, with Cunha being just one of the players they are considering. He also notes that Cunha's £62.5 million release clause in his Wolves contract may be a significant obstacle for the team to overcome.
Despite the challenges, Shearer believes that Cunha has a lot of talent and could be a welcome addition to the team. He also acknowledges that Cunha's tendency to be a maverick may require careful management, but notes that many top players have similar characteristics.
Manchester United may need to sell some of their existing players to raise the funds to sign Cunha, with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Casemiro, and Alejandro Garnacho potentially being sold to help finance the transfer.
