At Wolves, Cunha also wore the number 10 shirt and left a strong impression. In 3 seasons playing at Molineux, the Brazilian striker scored 33 goals and had 15 assists after 92 appearances, averaging 0.5 goals per match.
The 26-year-old player is highly appreciated for his ability to play flexibly in many positions on the attack line, including striker, playmaker and winger.
The No. 10 shirt at Man United has been left vacant since Marcus Rashford moved to Aston Villa on loan in the middle of last season. The reason is believed to be a conflict between Rashford and head coach Ruben Amorim.
During his time at Aston Villa, Rashford scored 4 goals and assisted 6 times in 17 matches. However, because this team did not qualify for the European Cup, they decided not to buy the English player.
Currently, Man United is actively looking for a transfer partner for Rashford before the new season starts.
Both Barcelona and Bayern Munich have expressed interest, but these two clubs are still considering the option of recruiting Luis Diaz from Liverpool.
The possibility of negotiating Rashford's deal is difficult due to his high salary (400,000 USD per week) and the contract is valid until June 2028.
To speed up negotiations, Man United are said to be ready to reduce transfer fees, while the players need to accept a salary reduction.
Manchester United have gathered to prepare for the new season since July 7.
However, coach Amorim allowed some players including Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia to return late to deal with transfer issues.
If there is no progress, these players will gather again at the end of the month.
