Cunha causes concern

According to coach Ruben Amorim, striker Matheus Cunha has yet to have the explosive performance he expected at Old Trafford.

Cunha is set to return to the MU squad in the match against West Ham in round 14 of the Premier League on the morning of December 5, after missing the last two matches due to a head injury during training.

Since joining the "Red Devils" for a fee of 62.5 million pounds from Wolves, the Brazilian striker has only scored 1 goal in 11 matches, a disappointing number compared to initial expectations.

However, coach Amorim believes that it is unfair to judge Cunha based on statistics alone. “He can still play better,” the Portuguese strategist shared. “Cunha is at another club, with more pressure. He has difficulty because he thinks too much about numbers, but his influence on the team's play is very important."

The MU coaching staff has always been cautious with Cunha's case, because the high-impact playing style requires him to be in optimal physical condition before being allowed to play. However, Cunha himself believes that he is in good physical condition and ready to return.

With Bryan Mbeumo preparing to return home to participate in CAN 2025, and Benjamin Sesko injured, Cunha's role in the coming time will become very important. This is also a key stage that can decide the final result of the "Red Devils" at the end of the season.
