Man United have wasted no time in putting their own stamp of authority on this summer's transfer window, signing Matheus Cunha from Wolves.

After several months of speculation, Cunha completed his Β£62.5million switch to Old Trafford from Wolves on Sunday, ensuring United made a successful start to this summer's transfer window.

Following several months worth of speculation, United announced the signing of Cunha on Sunday, subject to him securing a visa and registration.

Not seen many Championship play-off semi-final ties as one-sided as that. The tie was done as soon as Rob Dickie was sent-off on Thursday night. Sheffield United toyed with them at times. Too easy for them. The gap between the top four and the rest this season has been huge.
Stranger things have happened in the play-offs (May 18, 2023 teaches us that π), but I just can't picture a scenario where Bristol City claw it back. I felt it was imperative they got a result at Ashton Gate amid their poor away record. An early goal could make it fun, mind!
Bristol City must beat Sheffield United by a three-goal margin at Bramall Lane this evening just to take their Championship play-off semi-final second leg to extra-time. π¬ However, they have won just once away from home since the November international break. π«€ #BristolCity https://t.co/6wvuJvMbVz
Bruno Fernandes as honest as ever in his post-match assessment, admitting Manchester United need to become "much more aggressive". They needed to fall 2-0 down today before they properly got going. #MUFC https://t.co/tfkcQRHmuL
