Matheus Cunha Welcomes Ruben Amorim as New Era Begins at Manchester United

Matheus Cunha has spoken publicly for the first time about Ruben Amorim. He expressed strong support for the coach as their moves to Manchester United are set to become official. The Brazilian striker is expected to be the first major arrival of the summer transfer window under Amorim’s leadership.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking ahead of his anticipated transfer, Cunha praised the Portuguese manager, saying, “He’s a great coach and I wish him nothing but the best. I hope he conquers the world as he did Portugal.”

These comments come as the deal for Cunha to join Manchester United is verbally agreed, with the forward ready to become Amorim’s first signing of the new era at Old Trafford.

The transfer follows a standout season for Cunha at Wolves, where he delivered his best performances to date and attracted attention from Europe’s elite clubs. Manchester United finished the Premier League season in 15th place, ending a difficult campaign with a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

Ruben Amorim was recently confirmed as Manchester United’s head coach and is being given freedom to reshape the squad. The club plans to target players with Premier League experience to improve squad athleticism and consistency.

Cunha’s arrival is seen as an important step in this process. Known for his versatility and work rate, the Brazilian scored 12 goals and made 7 assists in 32 league matches for Wolves during the 2024-25 season.

Amorim’s appointment follows a period of success in Portugal, where he won several league titles and developed a reputation for nurturing young talent.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR UNITED AND CUNHA?

Manchester United are set for a busy summer with further transfers expected. The club will aim to climb the Premier League table after their disappointing finish, with Amorim tasked with restoring the team’s competitiveness.

Their next match will be the opening fixture of the 2025-26 Premier League season, where United will look to make a positive start under new leadership. The team will need to close a significant gap to rejoin the fight for European places, as they ended last season well below the top half of the standings.

For Cunha, the move offers a chance to make an immediate impact and become a key player for United in the upcoming campaign.
