Matheus Cunha
27-Year-Old
Manchester United
Premier
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Cunha delivered a solid first season at Manchester United following his move from Wolves, scoring 10 Premier League goals with two assists across 33 games. That double-figure haul is a good return given United's inconsistent attack, and the Brazilian's ability to play as a forward or off the front gives manager Michael Carrick flexibility in how he uses him. The underlying shot volume backs up the goals, and he added three more at the World Cup before Brazil's quite early exit, so he arrives sharp. He remains a focal point of the attack, so the minutes are secure. For fantasy, he is a mid-priced attacker with double-digit goal potential and some creative upside, and if United's chance creation improves he could push higher. A reliable, well-rounded pick who should again be among the team's main sources of goals.
Assists and wins penalty in 5-2 win
Matheus Cunha assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 5-2 victory versus Ipswich Town.
ANALYSIS
Matheus Cunha assisted Bruno Fernandes for Manchester United's first goal and won the penalty that gave him his second of the game. After a World Cup campaign where he scored three goals, he is still waiting on his first goal of the season. He finished last year with 10 goals and provided two assists. The winger has created two chances in each of the two Premier League games this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Given new shirt at Old Trafford
Matheus Cunha will wear No. 10 at Manchester United in the 2025/26 season, according to Alex Crook of TalkSPORT.
ANALYSIS
As if there wasn't enough signs that Matheus Cunha was going to be a key player for Manchester United, the fact that he'll wear the No. 10 backs that up. That number belonged to Marcus Rashford in recent years. Cunha figures to be a key player for the Red Devils under the tutelage of Ruben Amorim.
