"They have a great spirit right now, as I mentioned. For me, it was really impressive seeing Matheus Cunha celebrating winning a duel in their own box [vs Everton], because I think this is what Michael Carrick brought into his team..."
"Cunha perfectly embodies everything that a United player should be, proving he has the fight and mentality needed to bring the club back to the top. Under Ruben Amorim, United didn't have this fight, and it led to the team being far too easy to beat. But Carrick has restored United's need to win, and the players are responding perfectly."
Manchester United demonstrated impressive character in overcoming Everton, catching the attention of Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner. Glasner praised eight United players individually before their upcoming match, highlighting the quality of the third-place contenders. Matheus Cunha particularly impressed Glasler, whose celebration after winning a duel in United's own box against Everton exemplifies Michael Carrick's impact on the team. Cunha embodies the fighting mentality and work ethic that United lacked during their struggles under Ruben Amorim. Unlike previous wingers Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, Cunha combines luxury technical ability with relentless off-ball commitment, including big tackles and tireless work-rate, restoring the club's winning mentality.
