Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim praises Matheus Cunha for his style of play | OneFootball

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has showered praise on Matheus Cunha after signing the Brazilian attacker in the summer.

Man United spent £62.5 million to bring the 26-year-old to the Old Trafford club from Wolverhampton Wanderers back in June.

Cunha has just one goal contribution in ten games for the Red Devils, but he has been an ever-present threat in their attack and has been a very influential player.

Amorim loves what he has been seeing from the Brazil international so far and is pleased to have signed him.

“Cunha is a maverick,” the Man United boss told Men in Blazers.

“Cunha does things that (are) hard to find in some players, because he plays with the ball. But he has an aura that can do something to the opponents’ heads, and that is really important.”

Cunha has been working hard behind the scenes, spending hours doing extra sessions, working on free-kicks and set-pieces with Man United captain Bruno Fernandes.

He has also improved his emotional control and confidence under the guidance of the Portuguese midfielder.

The Red Devils take on Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and they will be looking to leave with all three points.

Despite their quality, Spurs have struggled at home this term, which could give Man United a huge chance of winning on Saturday.

They have won five of their last eight Premier League games and heading into the November international break with a victory will be a big boost for Cunha and his teammates.

Man United are level on points with Tottenham, with the North London club ahead of them in the Premier League table because of a superior goal difference.

Both clubs have scored the same number of goals (17), but the Red Devils have shipped 16 goals, while Spurs have conceded only half of that (8), and their respective defences could be key to the game.
