Matheus Cunha joined Manchester United from Wolves in June for £62.5 million but has had a challenging start to his career at Old Trafford. Despite his impressive performance at Wolves, where he scored 15 goals and provided six assists in the previous season, Cunha has managed only one goal and no assists in 11 matches for United. His manager, Ruben Amorim, has expressed that while Cunha has been coping well with the different pressures of playing at a top club, the Brazilian player still has much growing to do both defensively and offensively. Amorim also acknowledged that there may be pressure on Cunha to perform, acknowledging how he feels frustrated about not contributing more to the team's scoring efforts. Cunha's struggle for goals has raised concerns within the team and among fans. He has faced challenges fitting into United's setup, although Amorim noted Cunha's positive influence on the team beyond just scoring. The player has revealed a desire to score and assist, but his current statistics show a significant decline. For example, his conversion rate has dropped drastically from 14 percent last season to just 4.5 percent so far in the current campaign, alongside a drop in expected assists per 90 minutes. Additionally, Cunha's recent absence from matches due to a knock in training has not helped the situation. He has missed games against Everton and Crystal Palace but is expected to return for a home game against West Ham. His team has had to adjust to these circumstances, and despite the lack of goals, Amorim expressed that Cunha's happiness and enjoyment in playing are vital for the team's dynamics. The coaching staff believes Cunha will eventually find his form as he continues to settle in. Fans and analysts have been divided over the management's decision on the player, with some questioning whether the high price tag justified his current performance levels. Cunha must navigate through this difficult patch while contributing effectively and regaining confidence in his goal-scoring abilities, which will be essential for Manchester United's success this season.
