Cunha: 'Arsenal are the best in the world'

Matheus Cunha called Arsenal "the best team in the world right now" after helping Manchester United defeat their rivals at the Emirates Stadium on the morning of January 26th.

Cunha had many words of praise for Arsenal.

Speaking after the match, the Brazilian striker did not hide his admiration for his opponents: "Arsenal are the best team in the world right now. They have a long-standing relationship with manager Arteta and understand every detail of their playing style. But we are Manchester United, and when we step onto the pitch, there is only one goal: to win."

Cunha also paid tribute to interim manager Michael Carrick for his dream start. The former England midfielder has gradually rekindled hope at Old Trafford with two consecutive victories against Man City and Arsenal.

The match in round 23 lived up to its reputation as a top-tier game. Arsenal started proactively and quickly took the lead thanks to an own goal by Lisandro Martinez. However, MU remained undeterred. Before halftime, new signing Bryan Mbeumo capitalized on an opportunity to equalize, opening up a tense and closely contested match.

In the second half, Manchester United showed a completely different face. Young talent Patrick Dorgu made his mark with a beautiful long-range shot, giving the visitors the lead for the first time. However, Arsenal proved their mettle as title contenders when Mikel Merino scored the equalizer in the 84th minute, sending Emirates Stadium into a frenzy. But right in injury time, Cunha appeared coolly with a superb curling shot, securing a 3-2 victory for MU.

The result propelled MU to fourth place, ahead of both Liverpool and Chelsea, and intensified the title race as Arsenal are now only four points ahead of Man City and Aston Villa.
