0 goals and 0 assists in 7 games! Cunha: I feel like I have been at Manchester United for a long, long time

Due to the poor record last season, Manchester United set a record for the lowest points in Premier League history. The Red Devils senior management had no choice but to consider a comprehensive reshuffle of the lineup during the summer transfer period. Manchester United's senior management took action early and activated Cunha's £62.5 million termination clause at Wolves.

Subsequently, the Red Devils spent a total of 236 million pounds throughout the busy summer transfer window. Sheshko, Mbeumo, Diego Leon and Ramens joined one after another, becoming Manchester United's new aid together with Cunha. However, after the first 7 rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United only achieved 3 victories and was upset by Grimsby in the League Cup. This is obviously far from Cunha's vision when he first arrived at the "Theater of Dreams".

Under Ruben Amorim, Cunha has failed to score a goal or assist in 7 appearances in all competitions. Cunha added insult to injury last month when he missed the Manchester derby with a hamstring injury. Manchester United defeated Sunderland 2-0 in the last round, and Cunha became the team's substitute when he was fully healthy. However, after returning to the Brazilian national team, Cunha quickly regained his confidence and form. In Brazil's 5-0 victory over South Korea last Saturday, Cunha served as a single arrow and contributed 1 assist. The striker hopes to carry the national team's good form into Manchester United's upcoming away game against arch-rivals Liverpool.

"There is no doubt that whether it is in the national team or Manchester United, it is a new level and a new stage for me," Cunha, who serves as the arrowhead of the Brazilian team, said in an interview with "Global Sports" after the victory. "I try to adapt and learn as much as possible... Although it has only been two months since I joined Manchester United, it feels like I have been here for a long time due to the current situation of the club."

"I have to produce results as soon as possible, because I am a high-priced signing... These will help me adapt faster and feel good in the national team." Cunha said that joining a giant like Manchester United allowed him to find the "happiness" he has been pursuing in his career, and he has also established a foothold in the Brazilian team.

Cunha is eager to help Brazil, managed by Carlo Ancelotti, erase the regrets of the 2022 World Cup at next year's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. "I am one of the few people who did not participate in the 2022 World Cup. The freshness, the desire to play in the World Cup, and the excitement of doing everything possible to be selected are different. And for those who have been there before, this is an opportunity to write new stories."

Although Cunha is still confident, his position at Manchester United is already somewhat embarrassing. With Sheshko scoring goals in two consecutive games and Mount getting better, Cunha lost his main position in Manchester United's front trident. Compared with Mbeumo, who joined in the summer window, Cunha's offensive efficiency is low, which is also a major reason why he lost his main position.
