Matheus Cunha has mounted a defence of Manchester United after a stuttering Premier League start, urging calm as pressure builds.
According to Goal.com, United have won only two of their first seven matches in all competitions, sit 12th in the Premier League, and are winless in their last three. Their latest result was a 1-1 draw at Fulham, where Cunha equalised at Craven Cottage.
He cited last season, his first at Old Trafford, when scrutiny was harsher and some even mentioned relegation after a year without Champions League football. United finished third, and he says belief inside the squad remains.
United now have a three-week international break. Cunha, 27, is impatient to play again, yet accepts the pause could help reset ideas.
October brings a testing run against Tottenham, Atletico Madrid and Como. The stretch could shape their campaign, so improvement is needed to emulate last season’s surge. Michael Carrick has time to address issues and rebuild confidence before domestic action resumes.
