Cunha rejects Arsenal

When joining the Brazilian national team in November, Matheus Cunha became the center of attention after a video recorded his reaction to questions about joining Arsenal.

Cunha confirmed he will not go to Arsenal.

Cunha joined MU in the summer of 2025 for a fee of 62.5 million pounds after shining for Wolves. Before arriving at Old Trafford, the Brazilian striker was one of the most sought-after names in the Premier League and was strongly linked with Arsenal. Many "Gunners" fans had hoped he would come to Emirates.

Therefore, when he happened to meet Cunha at the hotel where the Brazilian team was staying before the friendly match against Senegal on the night of November 15 ( Hanoi time), an Arsenal fan took the opportunity to ask directly: "Have you ever been to Arsenal?".

Cunha's reaction was enough to make MU fans breathe a sigh of relief. Instead of answering, he burst out laughing and continued walking into the next room. Before disappearing, Cunha only said a short sentence: "No, thank you".

This moment immediately went viral. MU fans were delighted and left a series of comments: "Awesome", "Cunha's smile shows that he knows Arsenal", "He really chose red", "Now he's not going anywhere".

Cunha has only scored one Premier League goal but has impressed in Ruben Amorim’s attacking system, providing effective support for Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. The fact that he wears the No. 10 shirt, associated with legends Denis Law and Wayne Rooney, has further reinforced the expectations of the Old Trafford crowd.

Sharing with SunSport , Cunha said he did not request this shirt number: "Joining MU is a dream. When they gave me the number 10 shirt, I just asked: 'Are you sure?'. And I was ready. I feel very lucky to be trusted like that."

With his witty response to an Arsenal fan's question, Cunha seemed to send a clear signal that his present and future are at MU.
