"Cunha, who signed for 62.5m from Wolves in the summer, has played a key role in United's resurgence this season - with Ruben Amorim's side unbeaten in their past five games. He scored his first goal for the club in a 4-2 win over Brighton in October and played in both of Brazil's friendlies in the recent international window. On Friday, head coach Amorim confirmed striker Benjamin Sesko would be out until the middle of next month with a knee injury."
"If Cunha is not available for Monday's game, it would force Amorim into a major reshuffle. Mason Mount would come into contention, but Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee could also be drafted into Amorim's starting line-up for the first time this season in the Premier League. It also raises the possibility of a call-up for England Under-20 international Shea Lacey, who has impressed in United's Premier League 2 squad this season."
Matheus Cunha was due to switch on Altrincham's Christmas lights alongside Sam Aston on Saturday, two days before Manchester United host Everton. Organisers Visit Altrincham said Cunha would not attend "due to medical reasons" after he "had an accident in training". Manchester United have not confirmed further details or whether the incident will affect Cunha's availability for the Everton match. Cunha joined United from Wolves for 62.5m and has been influential in United's recent resurgence, scoring against Brighton and playing in Brazil's recent friendlies. Benjamin Sesko is sidelined with a knee injury, prompting potential reshuffles involving Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo, Joshua Zirkzee or Shea Lacey.
