Matheus Cunha

The Theatre of Dreams, Old Trafford, set the stage for a pivotal Premier League encounter as Manchester United welcomed a confident Brighton side. Riding a wave of momentum with consecutive wins, the Seagulls posed a significant threat. However, it was the home side who seized the initiative in dramatic fashion.

As the first half reached its midpoint, a moment of individual brilliance erupted. Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha, cutting in from the left, unleashed a thunderous drive from distance that soared into the net, finally breaking his personal deadlock.

The strike was more than just an opening goal; it was a record-setting exclamation point. With this effort, Cunha now boasts an impressive seven goals from outside the penalty area since the beginning of the last campaign a tally no other player in the league can match.

For Cunha himself, the goal carried the weight of immense personal relief. After a quiet start to his United career following his summer transfer, this moment marked his long-awaited first goal and his very first direct contribution for the famous Red Devils shirt, silencing his critics in the most spectacular way.
