Latest transfer news and rumors: Man United, Arsenal battle for Cunha

The transfer window may be closed, but the rumors never stop swirling. Check in every day for all the latest buzz from across the soccer world.

Top story: Man United move for Cunha

Matheus Cunha has already made clear his intention to leave Wolves this summer in order to take the "next step" in his career, putting several top clubs on high alert. Manchester United are among the interested suitors.

The Red Devils will do battle with Arsenal to land the Brazilian international this summer. Cunha signed a contract extension with Wolves earlier this year, but that simply served to delay his departure, with the club and player agreeing to insert a £62.5-million release clause into the deal.
