Manchester United star Matheus Cunha has been making the most of his off-season, spending quality time in Brazil. The 26-year-old was spotted unwinding after a busy season and ahead of the challenges that await him at Old Trafford. He joined United in a £62.5 million ($86m) transfer from Wolves and will be tasked with breathing life into an insipid attack that managed to score just 44 league goals.
Matheus Cunha has said it’s a 'dream' to inherit Manchester United’s iconic No. 10 shirt after sealing a £62.5 million ($85m) move from Wolves. The Brazilian will don the number made famous by Wayne Rooney and most recently worn by Marcus Rashford, who looks set to leave. The 26-year-old called it a 'privilege' to be handed the iconic number as he prepares for life at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim has hinted that Manchester United might not sign an elite striker this summer as he puts his faith in new signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to take the responsibility of scoring goals for the club, while claiming Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee would have to fight for their place in his starting line-up in the 2025-26 campaign.
Manchester United won on penalties but were held to a 1-1 draw by Fiorentina in their final pre-season friendly as Bryan Mbeumo shone the brightest amid a lacklustre attacking unit.
