Manchester United have confirmed a big change to the squad with a big Matheus Cunha decision, MySportDab reports.
The Red Devils are preparing for a fresh new chapter with new manager Ruben Amorim with some sundry changes expected in the squad.
Some new additions are expected including major transfer exits this summer and United have doubled down on this overhaul with a big Matheus Cunha decision.
After securing the services of the Portuguese attacking midfielder, they have handed him the club’s number 10 shirt.
This is an iconic shirt number at Manchester United worn by big and legendary names in the club’s history.
In the pantheon of iconic names that don this shirt number at Manchester United are Teddy Sheringham and David Beckham.
Dutch forward and former Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistelrooy also won the iconic shirt number, along with Wayne Rooney and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The most recent of them all is Marcus Rashford, who reached the peak of his United career in the 2023-24 season before the sudden drop-off last season.
Notably, Cunha taking United’s number 10 shirt delineates the club’s resolve to make the Portuguese key in the team’s plans.
It also underscores their decision to open a new chapter with the Portuguese as Marcus Rashford prepares to leave.
Cunha is regarded as one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League. He had 15 goals plus six assists in 33 Premier League appearances for the Wolves last season and is expected to play a key role in Ruben Amorim’s Man United squad.
