Matheus Cunha
26-Year-Old
Manchester United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cunha spent the 2024/25 season at Wolverhampton and finished with 21 goal contributions across 33 appearances (15 goals, six assists), and he figures to get even more opportunities to make a sizable impact at Old Trafford. Cunha should slot into the No. 10 role behind the striker and has the chance to form a partnership with Bruno Fernandes. Having racked up 27 goals and 13 assists for Wolverhampton over the last two seasons, Cunha should at least be able to match those numbers. That said, with players like Fernandes and Amad Diallo around him, Cunha may see less of the ball than at Wolves as less of a focal point.
Starting as expected
Cunha (head) is back in the starting XI for Thursday's clash with West Ham.
ANALYSIS
Cunha is in the starting XI on Thursday. The attacker was expected to be fit after a knock kept him out against Crystal Palace. He's now back fit and available and ready for a spot straight back in the starting XI. Cunha started four straight prior to the injury.
