Matheus Cunha makes stunning claim about “unbelievable” Bruno Fernandes

“But it is like I said before, to adapt in these kind of details, they will give you better feedback to talk, to understand. Like I came here this season, and I know how the club was before. And to come here, I prefer to play in a different position, but I am 100% ready to adapt my game to help the team.”

“You need to adapt your game for team-mates also, and Bruno is this kind of guy, you know, who can [be in] the space when no one else can, so sometimes you only need to run in.”

“We speak so much in training. It is like, ‘how can we improve together, how can we adapt, be a bit closer, have this chance in games?’. We feel happy, because it is coming from training into the games.”

Wonder strike

Perhaps Cunha’s best United goal so far was his winning effort against Arsenal in January. He scored from distance to secure all three points for the Red Devils at the Emirates.

The Brazilian told Owen Hargreaves, “I didn’t realise I was so far from the goal. I didn’t realise I was so far from the goal,” he conceded. “Everyone came to me like ‘mate, unbelievable goal, so far [away].’ I say, ‘no guys, I feel like I am in the zone.’ You can see in my movement, I feel like I am close to the goal.”

“If I put the ball there, maybe it would be a good ball, I didn’t feel like I was so far, and then when I saw the video I was like, ‘wow’. Maybe if I saw the video before, I would not shoot like this.”

United return to action on Monday when they welcome Brentford to Old Trafford.

The club confirmed that Cunha was absent from Thursday’s training session at Carrington because he was taking a recovery day.
