Matheus Cunha
26-Year-Old
Manchester United
Premier
OUT
Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 9/27/2025
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.
Ruled out against Manchester City
Cunha (hamstring) is out for Sunday's derby against Manchester United, coach Ruben Amorim said in the press conference. "He cannot help us in this game."
ANALYSIS
Cunha has suffered a hamstring injury in the game against the Clarets and has been released from the Brazilian squad. The forward would like to play but coach Ruben Amorim said they want to be cautious and that he won't feature in the derby on Sunday against the Citizens. That said, hsi absence will force a change in the frontline, with Joshua Zirkzee expected to see increased playing time for that game.
