Matheus Cunha - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

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.
