Cunha is an important player for both Manchester United and the Brazilian national team. |
Previously, there were reports that the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) had asked Manchester United to limit Cunha's playing time, or even allow him to rest for the final three rounds of the 2025/26 Premier League season, to conserve his energy for the 2026 World Cup campaign. However, the reality is quite the opposite.
The Manchester Evening News asserted that no agreement existed between the two parties. Responding to the rumors, Cunha reacted with surprise and humor by posting a short status update: "What?" He included a smiley face emoji and a picture of himself celebrating a goal against Liverpool, seemingly to deny the rumors.
The Brazilian striker's actions show that he is completely unaffected by the false information. On the contrary, Cunha is maintaining his full focus on the final stages of the season with MU. In this Premier League season, he has scored 9 goals and provided 2 assists, becoming one of the key players in the "Red Devils'" attack.
At the national team level, Cunha also holds a significant place in Brazil's plans. He played in both international friendlies in March and is considered a crucial link in the "Selecao's" quest to win the 2026 World Cup.
However, MU and the Brazilian coaching staff need to be cautious with Cunha after a season that extends into the summer of 2026. He is reportedly frequently playing with adductor muscle pain. Therefore, the risk of serious injury remains if Cunha continues to endure high-intensity play.
