‘Unreal’ Man Utd star stunned after hearing he won’t start another match this season: “What?”

Therefore, the Red Devils’ last three Premier League contests against Sunderland, Nottingham Forest, and Brighton won’t be too significant, as the team has already achieved its main objective of the season.

According to ESPN Brazil, the Brazilian national team has taken the opportunity to strike an agreement with Man Utd to rest Cunha for the rest of the season.

As the source explains, the aim is to allow the former Atletico Madrid player to fully recharge ahead of the World Cup and avoid injuries.

Nevertheless, Cunha was quick to quash this rumour. The MUFC star posted a one-word story on Instagram that reads “What?” along with a laughing face.

Why Cunha shouldn’t be rested by Man Utd

Based on the player’s swift response, it is safe to say that Carrick can freely select the Brazilian international for the rest of the season, and that the latter remains keen to take part in the action.

Even though the Champions League has already been secured, Man Utd would certainly want to keep their momentum going heading into the summer, and Cunha’s ‘unreal’ contributions will be required, especially now that he’s in red-hot form.

It should also be mentioned that United have had their lightest schedule in over 100 years, with the team only set to play 40 competitive fixtures all season.

Therefore, Brazil shouldn’t worry about Cunha arriving exhausted at the World Cup, while other players have played more than 50 games this term, at least if they weren’t impeded by injuries.
