Matheus Cunha
27-Year-Old
Manchester United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cunha spent the 2024/25 season at Wolverhampton and finished with 21 goal contributions across 33 appearances (15 goals, six assists), and he figures to get even more opportunities to make a sizable impact at Old Trafford. Cunha should slot into the No. 10 role behind the striker and has the chance to form a partnership with Bruno Fernandes. Having racked up 27 goals and 13 assists for Wolverhampton over the last two seasons, Cunha should at least be able to match those numbers. That said, with players like Fernandes and Amad Diallo around him, Cunha may see less of the ball than at Wolves as less of a focal point.
Could be regular starter for Brazil
Cunha could be a regular starter for Brazil in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
ANALYSIS
Brazil's lone true striker in the squad is 19-year-old forward Endrick, so Cunha might be asked to deploy in that position with the support of Raphinha, Vinicius Junior and potentially Neymar (thigh) behind him. Cunha has played as a striker in the past, and he's coming off a successful season with Manchester United, tallying 10 goals and two assists in 33 EPL outings (29 starts) in 2025/26. Cunha's versatility and ability to play across the attacking third should give him consistent minutes regardless of his role.

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.
