Cunha was overjoyed after netting his first goal for the club in our 4-2 win over Brighton & Albion at the weekend. The Brazilian has cored more goals from outside the box than any other Premier League player since the start of last season, and he pulled off another against the Seagulls.
Having been brought to the club by manager Ruben Amorim earlier this year, Cunha has become essential for the Red Devils as they continue their fine form. One pundit who has been impressed is Warnock who spoke to Esports Bets about the Brazilian international.
"Matheus Cunha has been exceptional this season.
"He’s been Manchester United’s best signing of the transfer window, in my opinion. I was at the game between Liverpool and United at Anfield, and I thought he was the best player on the pitch by a mile.
"He’s got an arrogance that reminds me of Eric Cantona. You can see that he’s embraced playing for Manchester United.
"It’s almost as if whenever he steps on the pitch in a United shirt, he’s showing people the reason the club have signed him.
"In today’s market, £62.5 million for him is a brilliant deal, and he's already one of United’s key players. He draws fouls, he’s got quick feet, and he’s obviously a goal threat.”
United signed Cunha from Wolves this summer as they spent £200M to replenish their frontline who are now starting to blend well up front. Amorim’s side are in top form at the moment and he will hope that Cunha can become more like Cantona and lead them to a league title in the years to come.
