Cunha’s highlights catch United’s eye

Wolves striker Mateusz Cunha has once again caught the eye of Manchester United this season. A key figure in the team’s attack, he has proven why he is known as the “Dream Man”. In the match between Wolves and Leicester City, Cunha was at the center of the action, scoring and assisting on his way to a comfortable victory.

against Leicester City: Cunha dominates the game

In the 34th round of the EPL, Wolverhampton Wanderers hosted early relegated Leicester City at Molineux. Cunha continued to feature in manager Vito Pereira’s 3-4-2-1 formation, playing as an attacking midfielder on the left flank. He teamed up with teammate Marshall Munetz to support striker Jørgen Strand-Larsson and organize the team’s attack.

Against an in-form Leicester City, Wolves unleashed a furious attack, and almost all of those attacks came at Cunha’s instigation. It can be said that he was the “engine” of Wolves’ attacking system in this game.

Goals and assists: the best of the game!

In the 33rd minute of the match, Kurnia received a pass from teammate Rajan Ait Nouri, skilfully adjusted the angle of his shot and fired the ball into the net with his right foot. The shot went through the legs of Leicester defender Conor Coady and into the far corner to break the deadlock. In the 56th minute of the second half, Cunha once again played a key role, slipping the ball accurately to Strand Larsson, who took advantage of the counter-attack and unleashed a diagonal shot to double the lead.

Towards the end of the match, in the 85th minute, Cunha once again showed his organizing ability. He played the ball forward to Rodrigo Gomez, who finished well to seal the victory. With a goal and two assists, Cunha was undoubtedly the man of the match.

The stats speak for themselves: Cunha’s all-round performance

Until he was substituted in the 89th minute, Cunha’s stats were impressive: – 1 goal, 2 assists.

  • 68 touches.
  • Pass completion percentage of 93% (41 passes completed/44 attempts).
  • 5 key passes.
  • 3 accurate long passes (4 attempts in total).
  • 2 successful breaks with the ball.
  • Won 9 of 12 tackles.
  • 1 successful tackle.
  • Recovered the ball 4 times.

Such performances not only drove the pace of the team’s offense, but also fully demonstrated his value as the core of the forward line. So far this season, Cunha has scored 15 goals and added 6 assists in 29 EPL games, averaging 1.8 key passes and 2 breakaways per 90 minutes, making him the team’s “Mr. Key”.

Wolves’ ups and downs, but Cunha’s steady rise

The Wolves have been through a lot of ups and downs this season. Midway through the season, the team changed head coaches due to inconsistent results. With the arrival of Vito Pereira, the team’s overall form began to stabilize. Regardless of the coaching changes, Cunha has always been an integral part of the team’s tactical system. Not only does he create chances in attack, but he also supports his teammates by running aggressively, reflecting his versatility and stability.

A key player in Manchester United’s rebuilding program

Cunha’s continued good form has attracted the attention of several big teams, with Manchester United one of the most active. United’s poor performance this season, finishing below Wolves in the league, has led the club to embark on a massive rebuilding program. In order to improve the team’s lack of offense, Cunha is seen as the ideal target.

Many analysts believe that Cunha’s arrival will not only improve United’s attacking efficiency, but will also fit perfectly into the 3-4-2-1 formation that United may be playing in the future. With his organizing and linking ability, United’s midfield and front line will form a tighter link, which is important for the Red Devils to regain their glory.

Cunha’s career is at its peak

Cunha, 25, who hails from the Brazilian city of Curitiba, is in the prime of his career. His performances for the Wolves have shown his potential and growth, making him an irreplaceable part of the team. As the season progressed, he not only solidified his position as a starter, but also proved his worth with his statistics.

Regardless of whether or not Cunha will join Manchester United in the future, his name has become a presence in the Premier League that cannot be ignored. For the young player from the land of Samba, this is the brightest moment of his career and the strength he has shown has everyone looking forward to his future.
