1. Ball Carrying
United’s lack of effective ball carriers has hindered their ability to transition smoothly into the final third.
While Amad Diallo has shown promise, the team still struggles in this area.
Cunha offers a solution with his exceptional ability to progress the ball up the pitch.
Averaging 3.02 carries into the final third per 90 minutes, he ranks among the best in his position.
His direct running and close control make him a constant threat, capable of breaking defensive lines and creating opportunities for teammates.
2. Physicality
Standing over six feet tall, Cunha combines strength, balance, and contact resistance to retain possession under pressure.
These traits are invaluable for a team that often struggles against high-pressing opponents.
In the left ‘10’ role, Cunha’s physicality would enable him to hold off defenders, maintain possession, and bring others into play.
His robust nature in duels adds a layer of reliability that United have sorely missed.
Cunha also excels in the press and will allow Manchester United to push further up the pitch and squeeze the opposition.
