Matheus Cunha called up for Brazil, ex-teammate praises him 🎥 | OneFootball

Manchester appears to be the next destination in the career of striker Matheus Cunha, with several journalists claiming that United will sign him from Wolverhampton.

But an important part of the path to Old Trafford, with passages through the Brazilian national team, took place in the city of Leipzig, where the striker played for about a year and a half.

Wearing the German club's jersey, Cunha scored a great goal that competed for the Puskas Award in 2019 (watch below) and left good memories among his teammates.

"Great things will come to him," said RB Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi in an interview with OneFootball during the team's visit to São Paulo for the friendly match against Santos.

One of those great events, who knows, may be with the Brazilian jersey, since the 26-year-old striker was included in Carlo Ancelotti's first list of called-up players as national team coach.

Check below how Gulacsi describes Matheus Cunha on and off the field:

Gulacsi's interview with OneFootball was conducted during one of the activities held during RB Leipzig's visit to Brazil.

The goalkeeper and other players were at a sports court in the city of Bragança Paulista that will be renovated with the support of the club.

Among the games played with children from the city in the interior of São Paulo, the goalkeeper also commented and mentioned Neymar as the best Brazilian player he has ever faced.

"Unfortunately, he's already scored a goal against me, from a penalty," said Gulacsi, recalling a 1-0 defeat against PSG in the group stage of the Champions League in the 2020/21 season.
