Manchester United have announced their first signing of the summer following their post-season season tour in Asia. This follows a largely unsuccessful campaign in a domestic and European perspective with the Red Devils finishing 15th in the Premier League on 42 points – their lowest finish in 50 years.
Furthermore, with United losing out in the FA Cup and EFL Cup alongside losing the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur, the Red Devils finished the season without silverware in any context.
One area United arguably struggled the most in was the striker position with the position arguably cursed since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Al Nassr.
With Ramus Hojlund and and Joshua Zirkzee scoring just 7 goals between the two of them during their Premier League campaigns, the team have relied heavily on Bruno Fernandes to lead the Reds scoring charge.
Matheus Cunha Becomes A United Player
This is why news that Matheus Cunha has officially signed for Manchester United will come to the relief of many fans. Cunha, who we exclusively revealed had his medical yesterday, has had a largely successful Premier League campaign with the striker scoring 15 times across the 33 matches he managed to play.
The Brazilian, who can also play on the wing, also contributed 6 assists to the Wolves side this season.
At 26 years old, the striker enters Old Trafford with experience both in England with Wolves and abroad in Spain Atletico Madrid which make him a well cultured and experienced striker.
The new United man also offers more than just goals with the striker being skilled in many departments. One key example of this is his possession stats.
This can be seen with Cunha managing 61 successful dribbles whilst also having 139 touches in opposition boxes in the Premier League this season showing Cunha’s presence across the field and in the box.
With the striker now officially confirmed to be a Manchester United player, can he make an impression and lead United to success? Only time will tell.
