Why does his Wiki still say he's a Wolves player? He hasn't signed the contract yet?
 
That’s a new one, not fully confirmed until his wiki page is updated

If you look at the 'talk' page for the article, it goes into it. It's just because the announcement said that it was subject to work permit and registration, but those are a complete formality.

Longer highlights. Looking at the qualifying table and having read elsewhere, I think Paraguay are quite a stubborn team with the third stingiest defence having conceded only 10 in 16 games. So this game is somewhat reflective of the 'low block' issue some may with Cunha's qualities. Obviously it won't be the same as Brazil had 74% possession with players like Rafinha and Vinicius Jr on the pitch ahead or/with him in a free flowing formation. I'm only basing this on highlights so those, who watched the full game may fill in or correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm extrapolating but this sort of confirms what I had thought he would offer for us. He's a player that likes to face the goal outside the box, has good pace/physicality, can take on players, play passes, be in the half spaces and puts up a shift with his pressing, tackling and aerial efforts. Instant upgrade on Garnacho and will allow us to stay in the final third of the opposition area with his hold up and decision making. He's capable of loose touches, doesn't have the most precise passing and probably isn't someone you're going to rely on making those near post/penalty spot runs consistently. We'll definitely need a striker and Dorgu or whoever the LWB better be up for it physically to make the over/under lap runs and have the technique and decision making to interplay with.

As an individual talent, we've overpaid but if we get our other transfers right (Mbeumo, a striker and a midfielder), he'll definitely lift the overall bottom and ceiling of the team. Not that it was particularly hard anyways but given what we've witnessed for the past 12 years before, this is a step in the right direction.

Good post, made me feel more relaxed after seeing his header at around 2:25. That was... awful.
 
MC:
“It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player. Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother’s house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt. I want to thank my family and everyone who has helped me make that dream a reality.

“I can’t wait for the start of pre-season to get to know my team-mates and prepare for the season ahead. All my focus is now on working hard to become a valuable part of the team, and helping get this club back to the top.”

Jason Wilcox:
“Bringing in Matheus was one of our main priorities for this summer, so we are delighted to have completed his signing so early in the window.

"He has proved his ability to succeed in the Premier League as one of the most exciting and productive forwards in England during his time at Wolves, and, before that, in Spain and Germany. He has all the qualities we are looking for as we seek to build a strong, dynamic and entertaining team capable of challenging for the biggest honours.”

Can't wait to see him playing for us. I think this is one of our best and most exciting signings in years. He's the type of player we have sorely missed for a long time and, for whatever reason, just refused to sign somebody of this ilk. His ability to beat players, his power and explosiveness, his ability to hit a rocket from anywhere, he can score directly from corners. I think he'll be a huge hit here and will probably (hopefully!) be the catalyst for turning things around.
