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.
Starts Sunday
Cunha (hip) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Liverpool.
ANALYSIS
Cunha was seemingly working towards a return Sunday, and that has come to fruition, as the attacker is now starting immediately. The club now gains back an elusive winger who will create more pressure in the final third, spreading out the defense further to cover their multiple options. He should remain a starter to end the season, recording eight goals and two assists in 30 appearances (26 starts) this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Given new shirt at Old Trafford
Matheus Cunha will wear No. 10 at Manchester United in the 2025/26 season, according to Alex Crook of TalkSPORT.
ANALYSIS
As if there wasn't enough signs that Matheus Cunha was going to be a key player for Manchester United, the fact that he'll wear the No. 10 backs that up. That number belonged to Marcus Rashford in recent years. Cunha figures to be a key player for the Red Devils under the tutelage of Ruben Amorim.
