Cunha is a breakthrough for MU's attack.

Matheus Cunha offers hope for Manchester United's attack.

Brazilian newcomer Matheus Cunha has just joined MU from Wolves for a fee of £62.5 million. He signed a five-year contract and will make his debut in the early summer of 2025.

In his first season at Wolves, Cunha primarily played as a center forward. However, in his second season, he underwent a significant transformation, becoming an attacking midfielder. In particular, playing as a left-sided "number 10," Cunha frequently dropped deep to contest for the ball, demonstrating his versatility.

Former Wolves manager Edu Rubio has heaped praise on Cunha: "He needed time to adapt to English football, but now Cunha is showing his true qualities."

According to Rubio, Cunha is not only a good player but also a crucial factor in helping MU increase the speed of their attacks. With his excellent dribbling skills and effective breakthroughs, Cunha can easily bypass opposing defenses.

Cunha's versatility is a great asset for MU.

This new signing can play in a variety of positions: from central midfielder, attacking midfielder, withdrawn forward to center forward. This makes him an ideal choice in Amorim's 3-4-2-1 tactical system.

"Cunha likes to move out wide and then cut inside to create dangerous opportunities. He has the ability to penetrate the penalty area, both with and without the ball," Rubio added.

To maximize Cunha's potential, MU needs to give him space and freedom in attacking plays. Allowing Cunha to move freely and change positions with his teammates will help the team increase its attacking power.

Most likely, Cunha will partner with Amad Diallo or Bruno Fernandes in the two attacking positions behind the central striker (Rasmus Hojlund or Zirkzee). In the midfield, the central midfield duo of Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte (or Kobbie Mainoo) will take on the roles of ball distribution and defense.

Besides Cunha, MU is also actively recruiting more strikers, with Bryan Mbeumo and Viktor Gyokeres being two targets. The transfer fees for both are no less than £60 million.
