Matheus Cunha joined Manchester United from Wolves this summer and has yet to score in the Premier League despite eye-catching performances against Arsenal and Fulham. The attacker left the Burnley match at Old Trafford in the 31st minute after sustaining an injury and was withdrawn from Brazil's national team duty. Initial scans suggest the injury may not be as serious as first feared, with the current prognosis indicating a possible grade-one hamstring injury and a two-to-four-week recovery timeline. Cunha is undertaking light upper-body training at Carrington and benefits from the international break to recover before matches against Manchester City and Chelsea. The shorter recovery timeline is more optimistic than earlier worst-case scenarios and raises hope of a swift return to training.
Matheus Cunha got injured against Burnley Against Burnley at Old Trafford though, the attacker went off in the 31st minute of the match. However, according to Centre Devils, initial scans suggest the injury may not be as serious as first feared. Despite the alarming visuals, which prompted his withdrawal and triggered his withdrawal from Brazil's national team duty, there now appears to be a silver lining.
Despite the absence of an official confirmation on the exact nature of the injury, and whether it is definitively a hamstring issue, the fact that Cunha is engaging in light upperbody training at Carrington is a promising sign. The attacker currently has time to recover due to the international break. Ruben Amorim would be hoping to welcome him back to the team soon as his team faces Manchester City and Chelsea following the international break.
