Goal ruled out in defeat Matheus Cunha registered one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Chelsea.

Impact Cunha recorded only one shot (one on target), created one chance and attempted one cross (inaccurate) for Manchester United against Chelsea on Saturday. The winger also had an early goal ruled out in the 34th minute, which would've been the game's first if it were allowed. Nevertheless, he produced very little in the final third following the early disappointment. With three goal contributions in seven Premier League starts, the Brazilian has definitely seen better days.

Pulled at half time Wednesday Cunha only went 45 minutes in Wednesday's 4-1 loss against Como with reports surfacing after the match of a dust up in the locker room.

Impact Since going 89 minutes against Tottenham on Oct. 10, Cunha has suddenly fallen to a bench role and that doesn't seem to be a changing. A regular starter since joining United, he came off the bench in back-to-back matches before starting and only going 45 minutes against Como. With a healthy Amad Diallo, Michael Carrick has moved Cunha to the bench, something that will have to work itself out over the next few days and weeks. Prior to the benching, Cunha had produced two goals and two assists across league and UCL.

Makes brief cameo against Leeds Cunha registered one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Leeds United.

Impact Cunha entered in an advanced attacking role as Manchester United searched for a late winner but had limited opportunities to influence the match, finishing without a goal contribution. The Brazilian forward has recorded one goal and two assists across seven Premier League appearances this season, including six starts, with Sunday's brief outing marking his first league appearance off the bench. Despite his recent shift to a substitute role, his versatility across central and wide attacking positions could help him regain a place in the starting lineup.

Assists opener Saturday Cunha assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Cunha set up Bryan Mbeumo's goal in the 73rd minute Saturday, his third goal contribution across six Premier League starts this season. It was the only chance he created in the match and he only added one off target shot, a quiet day for Cunha outside of the assist.

Bags equalizer Sunday Cunha scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Fulham.

Impact Cunha scored a crucial goal Sunday, an outside-the-box strike in the 89th minute assisted by Patrick Dorgu which secured the draw. It was one of three shots he took in the match and he also created a season-high three chances. It's been a solid start to the season for the forward with one goal and one assist across five Premier League starts.

Plays 90, no goal Cunha had three shots (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Manchester City.

Impact Cunha would play the full 90 Sunday while recording three shots, but remains without a league goal this season, as zero of his three shots were on target. He still has one assist on the season in his four appearances, also adding a goal in UCL play.

Nets Thursday Matheus Cunha scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Thursday's 4-0 win over Sabah FK.

Impact Cunha kicked off his Champions League run in style with a dominant win over Sabah and a goal to boot. The attacker was always going to have a great chance to make some real noise here and he made the absolute most of his chances. He was brilliant in front of goal and could have had some more goals with slightly better breaks in the box.

Two shots during draw Matheus Cunha had two shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Everton.

Impact Cunha took a pair of shots during Sunday's draw, but he failed to put either of them on target. The striker was generally wasteful with his chances to get on the ball and couldn't really trouble the net throughout the match. He's still shown a good eye for goal, so one poor match certainly doesn't change anything, but it's a disappointing match against a beatable side.

Assists and wins penalty in 5-2 win Matheus Cunha assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 5-2 victory versus Ipswich Town.

Impact Matheus Cunha assisted Bruno Fernandes for Manchester United's first goal and won the penalty that gave him his second of the game. After a World Cup campaign where he scored three goals, he is still waiting on his first goal of the season. He finished last year with 10 goals and provided two assists. The winger has created two chances in each of the two Premier League games this season.

Plays 80 minutes in opener Cunha took three shots (one on goal), crossed three times inaccurately and created two chances during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Hull City.

Impact Cunha was held off the scoresheet while firing the second most shots on the team during the upset loss. The forward had 12 goal involvements across 33 appearances last campaign and was selected ahead of Benjamin Sesko to lead the line Saturday.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Scores penalty in shootout win Cunha played 30 minutes in Wednesday's friendly win over Leeds United and scored a penalty in the shootout, the club posted.

Impact Cunha scored three goals across five appearances for Brazil at the World Cup and finished last season with 10 Premier League goals and two assists across 33 appearances in his debut campaign at United. This early cameo, and successful penalty, is an encouraging sign heading into the new 2026/27 Premier League season, and he should hold a decent role in United's attack this year as coach Michael Carrick looks to build a more productive campaign around him following a solid first year in Old Trafford.

Clears illness Cunha cleared the illness that kept him out of Manchester United's traveling squad for the PSG match in Gothenburg and is fit to train, the club posted.

Impact Cunha scored three goals across five appearances for Brazil at the World Cup and finished last season with 10 Premier League goals and two assists across 33 appearances in his debut campaign at United. His clean bill of health now shifts focus to preseason preparations, and he should hold a decent role heading into 2026/27 as he looks to build on a productive first year at the club.

AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE

Absent due to illness Cunha (illness) is left out of Manchester United's 22 man squad to face PSG in Gothenburg after falling ill, according to the club.

Impact Cunha remained at Carrington to complete his recovery from a minor illness and did not travel with the squad for the initial phase of the preseason camp. The forward returned for preseason after scoring three goals across five appearances for Brazil at the World Cup, arriving sharp off a productive debut campaign that included 10 Premier League goals and two assists across 33 league appearances. The absence is considered a minor setback, with Cunha expected to join the squad in the Republic of Ireland next week once fully recovered.

AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE

Reports for preseason training Cunha has returned to Carrington for preseason ahead of the 2026-27 season, the club announced.

Impact Cunha scored three goals across five appearances for Brazil at the World Cup before the team's early exit, arriving sharp off the back of a solid debut United campaign in which he scored 10 Premier League goals with two assists across 33 games, his ability to play as a central forward or off the front giving coach Michael Carrick added flexibility. That combination of club and international form has him well positioned heading into the new campaign, and Cunha is expected to remain a focal point of United's attack as preseason continues.
