Man Utd produces a local cunha at “Game-Rreaking” 19 years old

Manchester United had to react to what happened during the 2024/25 campaign after enduring an end of the season under the season under the Ruben Amorim head coach.
The Red Devils lost 18 of their 38 Premier League matches, finishing 15th in the division, and lost against Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final.
Instead of choosing to change manager again, despite Amorim’s difficulties and some question points on its 3-4-2-1 system, the club has chosen to change things by diving on the transfer market.
Manchester United invested in the front line, despite a lack of European football, by signing Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko to strengthen the manager’s options in advance.
It is now due to Amorim to find a way to make the most of these three fascinating attack recruits to ensure that the Red Devils do not go through another lamentable season.
Mbeumo has already scored twice, against Grimsby and Burnley, since his departure from Brentford, but United Supporters are still waiting to see the best of Cunha in a red shirt.
Why is there more to come from Matheus Cunha
The Brazilian international has failed to score a goal or create a “ great luck ” for the team during his three first League departures for United so far this season, by Sofascore, who shows that he had a disappointing start to his career in Manchester.
However, there is no need to panic because Cunha is a proven star of the Premier League who has shown that he can offer a coherent quality at the upper end of the field, as evidenced by his form for Wolverhampton Wanderers last season.
The graphic above shows that it should be a huge upgrade on Mason Mount in position number ten when he finds his feet at Old Trafford and begins to offer the kind of performance that everyone knows that he is capable, because of his ability to have an impact in front of the lens.
Cunha, who signed Wolves from Atletico Madrid, has proven that he can score goals and create high -quality opportunities for his teammates at an impressive rhythm in the Premier League.

As you can see in the table above, the Brazilian maestro scored 27 goals and created 20 “ Big chances ” in 55 appearances at the top of the wolves in the last two seasons, surpassing its XG by a significant margin in these two campaigns.
This shows that Manchester United has signed a star who is proven in the division and will offer quality in the last third if Amorim could put the team to put it in enough positions to have an impact at the upper end of the terrain.
Therefore, it is not necessary to panic or rush to judge the fairly slow start from Cunha to Old Trafford, because there is much more to come from the Brazilian maestro, given what he has already done in the Premier League in the midlands.
If the former midfielder attacking Atletico Madrid fails to translate his form of wolves to Manchester, however, Amorim can find the own local version of the Cunha club of the Academy.
The 19 -year -old attacker midfielder Jack Moorhouse, who is currently loaned to Leyton Orient in Ligue 1, could emerge as Cunha de Manchester United in the future if he continues to develop and progress in his career.
Why could Jack Moorhouse be a homemade matheus cunha
Judging young players and predicting what their ceiling is or how they will develop over time is not an exact science, which is why so many players fail to note after having emerged fascinating talents at the start of their career.
Moorhouse did not burst into the scene at 16 like Lamine Yamal or marked in the Premier League at 18 like Kobbie Mainoo, but he has shown very promising signs that augur well for the future.
The adolescent scored four goals and provided two assists in 13 departures as an attacking midfielder for the Red Devils at the U18 and U21 level, by transfer, almost as a goal contribution all other games.
Analyst Ben Mattinson, in the post above, was impressed by his performances for the United teams, describing him as a “revolutionary ball carrier” which is “ideal” for the number ten role on the left side in the Amorim system, which is currently occupied by Cunha.
So far, Moorhouse’s best performance for Leyton Orient this season has come in a 3-1 victory against Peterborough United in the EFL trophy, and its display was cunha-esque on paper.

As you can see in the table above, Ireland U21 international presented its quality as a scorer, creator and dribbler, who are the three main attributes of Cunha as a player.
You can see in the clips above this Moorhouse likes to move forward with the ball at his feet, taking the players, and he has scored an excellent range of range with his weak foot.
Although against a very different opposition, the goal was not too different from that which Cunha scored against the Champions of Premier League Liverpool earlier this year for the Wolves.
Moorhouse and Cunha are both grounds of attack field which can score goals and create chances for their teammates, but they are also exciting players to look at because of the way they carry the ball and take the defenders.
Consequently, Manchester United can brew its local version of the Brazilian international in Carrington and Leyton Orient, and it is now due to the Irish maestro to develop and take the next steps in his career to convince Amorim to bring him into the first team of next season.
