"Cunha is averaging 3.2 combined dribbles completed and fouls drawn per game as the main left winger for Man United, and though he has just six goals and two assists in 26 Premier League appearances, his actual all around play on the pitch is better than the goal contributions indicate."
"Cunha is not the long term solution on the left wing. He is truly a No. 10 and an attacking midfielder or supporting striker who scores more goals, registers more assists, and makes a bigger impact in the middle of the park."
"Bruno is playing so well that it is a no brainer for Man United to keep their best player and team leader; he is far from finished yet. Fernandes should be able to age gracefully as Man United's 10, so it may be a few years before he is finished."
Matheus Cunha has impressed at Manchester United in his first season, averaging 3.2 combined dribbles completed and fouls drawn per game as the main left winger. Though his six goals and two assists in 26 Premier League appearances appear modest, his overall play exceeds these statistics. However, Cunha's true position is as a number 10 or attacking midfielder where he would score more goals and provide greater impact. Manchester United is exploring left-wing alternatives, particularly Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, as Cunha may not be the long-term solution on the wing. Bruno Fernandes' exceptional form and leadership make him irreplaceable as the team's primary playmaker, potentially delaying Cunha's transition to his preferred central role for several years.
