Manchester United Turn Attention to £30m Striker After Agreeing Deal for Matheus Cunha
Manchester United have now trained their sights on a striker from a Premier League rival after agreeing a transfer for Wolves forward Matheus Cunha.
After a standout season, Amad believes he has the talent to become one of the very best players on the planet, but needs adequate game time.
“I need the game time to show I can play for this club,” the 22-year-old states in an interview with the Manchester Evening News.

“In the past, I was a little bit frustrated because you can understand sometimes maybe you deserve to play, and you don’t play.
“But I think now it’s because the manager believes in me. He believes in my potential. I’m trying to repay his confidence every time I’m on the pitch.
An unfortunate ankle injury, sustained in training in February, had initially appeared to have ended Amad’s season, but he has recovered to play a role for Ruben Amorim in the Europa League final against Tottenham on Wednesday.
“I believe in my potential,” Amad states. “I believe I can be one of the best in the world. I just have to give my best every game. That’s it. But I think I believe in my potential.”
Amad certainly has the requisite talent, and it remains to be seen just how far he can go.
