VIDEO: 'Already cursed!' - Fans lose their minds as new Man Utd signing Matheus Cunha misses absolute SITTER for Brazil - but £62.5m man has the last laugh

During Brazil's clash with Paraguay, Cunha appeared set to give the Selecao the lead just after the half-hour mark when he was found unmarked at the back post by Gabriel Martinelli, with the goal at his mercy. The new Manchester United star, signed for £62.5 million ($85m), attempted a diving header, but could only send the ball back across the six-yard box, leaving fans stunned.

@Calum_Bateman said: "Guy's been a United player for 5 minutes and is already cursed."

@Simiafc said: "Cunha wasting a Martinelli assist", with a facepalm emoji.

@Gravitygunner14 said: "I told you about this Cunha guy! He deserves Manchester United! Never been clinical!"

@PurelyFootball added: "How on earth has Cunha missed from there?"

@1Jkerr joked: "If he hadn't signed for Man Utd he would've scored that."

@ArkitectOfChaos said: "The United curse begins."

Cunha later assisted Vinicius Junior's winner, and per Statman Dave, he created the most chances of any player on the pitch. While he should have added a goal to his statistical profile, he can be proud of his night's work.

United have their first pre-season friendly against Leeds United on July 19. It remains to be seen if Cunha makes his unofficial debut in that fixture.
