3. Output
Cunha’s attacking contributions this season have been remarkable, especially considering he’s playing for a struggling Wolves side.
With 0.85 goals and assists per 90 minutes, he sits in the 93rd percentile for players in his position.
This level of output highlights his ability to make a tangible impact in the final third, something United desperately need to alleviate the creative burden on Bruno Fernandes.
These numbers would also likely increase playing in a better side, around better players.
One of United’s persistent issues has been the lack of midfielders willing to occupy spaces in the opposition box.
Cunha’s off-the-ball movement addresses this problem.
His knack for timing runs into the penalty area adds a dynamic dimension to his game.
Whether it’s latching onto crosses or capitalising on loose balls, Cunha’s ability to “crash the box” provides a goal-scoring threat that has been absent since Scott McTominay’s departure.
