Matheus Cunha claimed he would “come back soon” after limping during Manchester United’s victory over Burnley on Saturday, and his injury brought great concern to Reuben Amorim. Cunha emerged as one of Red Devils’ standout performers despite the start of the campaign.
The Brazilian arrived from the wolves during the summer transfer period, but quickly adapted. However, hamstring issues left him limping during the weekend’s opening period. Cunha was able to leave without supporting Old Trafford on Saturday evening, offering people associated with club optimism that his set-off was not as serious as initially feared.
After withdrawing from the Brazilian team, he said: “What an incredible environment, it’s great to be here. I’m back soon and always have joy and gratitude. Thank you for all the messages.”
Amorim was clearly worried over the weekend. Mason Mount also raised fitness questions.
He commented: “It was hard to lose players like Cunha and Mason Mount. Mount played about 30 minutes with injuries. I don’t know (in the case of long-term injuries), but I don’t know, but I’m worried about it. They’re very important to us.”

United have collected just four points from the equipment in the opening nine leagues, but the next challenge is Etihad’s Manchester Derby against City.
They want to secure all three points and be able to take advantage of the full team when they travel to face neighbors who have endured the slow start of the campaign.
Amorim has already expressed his gratitude to Cunha, expressing the impact he has had following the £62.5 million move from Molineux.
The United manager praised his fighting spirit and the standards he set for the team to pursue victory.
“He’s a big guy that’s really important in this moment,” the Portuguese coach said.
“When he’s upset, you can feel it in the environment. That’s a good thing. When you play some games and he loses, he’s another guy and that’s a good thing.
