Premier League transfer (1) Kunia joins Manchester United: Can it help Amorin complete the reconstruction?

On the evening of June 1, Manchester United officially announced on its official website that Wolves' Mattus Cunnia joined the team. The last sentence of this official announcement reads: Everyone at Manchester United is looking forward to welcoming Mattus to Old Trafford. Why is Manchester United so looking forward to Cunha? Let’s see a few data first.

The seventh cumulative transfer fee in the world, Cunha joined the team with a transfer fee of 74.2 million euros, and his last transfer was also a lot of money - Wolves spent 50 million to sign him from Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid paid 35 million euros to hertha Berlin, in order to sign him. In order to sign him, Hertha Berlin paid 18 million euros to RB Leipzig. RB Leipzig paid 1,500 euros for Cunha from Sion, Switzerland to bring him back to Germany. The total sum of these transfer fees is as high as 192 million euros, and the 26-year-old Cunya has squeezed into the seventh place in the global cumulative transfer fee ranking. In the past 12 years, with the frequent changes in head coaches and the erosion of many problems such as the erosion of their casual selection of players in the Premier League, the scene of Manchester United randomly selecting players in the Premier League no longer exists. It is very difficult for Manchester United to sign a hot player in the Premier League, especially to sign an offensive player. Drapp, who was just taken away by Chelsea from himself, is a realistic example.

However, Cunia's addition still gave Amorin a shot of cardiac aid. From determining to use Cunia as an important signing target a few months ago to the official announcement on the first day of the transfer window opening, this means that Manchester United still retains great attraction in the negotiations and introductions of some important players.

You should know that since Sanchez bought from Arsenal in January 2018, Manchester United has not successfully bought a striker in the Premier League in the past seven years.

Cunha has the characteristics of Manchester United

During last year's Christmas schedule, in the 18th round of the Premier League, Wolves won Manchester United 2:0 at their home court, and Cunha made a brilliant pass and shot. In that game, there was a famous scene: in the 58th minute of the second half, Cunya made a tricky arc ball in the left corner and directly entered the upper right corner of the goal. And this corner kick direct shot he had tried before his goal occurred. An assistant coach of the Wolves once talked about Cunya, saying that he likes to use his intuition to play and create. In the history of Manchester United team, George Best, known as one of the three holy masters, also has such a characteristic. Sir Ferguson has also commented on him: the most amazing thing is that George Best is not the kind of striker in the penalty area. He almost always passes his opponent first and then chooses to score. Manchester United's former teenager, Ronaldo, who was brought to the team by Sir Ferguson and regarded as his biological son, was regarded as his biological son. Many of his performances at Manchester United are very similar to those of George Best on the court. Ronaldo's Portugal national teammate, the current Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandez, also inherits the unique temperament of Manchester United clubs such as Best and Ronaldo.

The importance of Cunya

Unlike many famous Brazilian players, Cunya shows more of a tough and directness. In Amorin's three-back system, direct passes from the middle and backcourts are a very important scoring guarantee. Cunya's performance in Wolves is very consistent with Amorin's technical and tactical requirements.

In many offenses of Wolves, he not only has to play the role of siege and siege in the left winger, but also has to participate in the midfield as the initiator of the offensive. He got the ball in the midfield and formed a pass between his teammates. He received his teammate's straight pass and used a straight pass to penetrate the opponent's strategy. He has been tried and tested with Wolves. According to official statistics from the Premier League, he participated in the attack in the midfield for more than 900 times, ranking 12th in the Premier League.

The characteristics of playing football are inseparable from his desire for scoring.

Will Cunha succeed at Manchester United?

In the two full seasons of Wolves, Cunha scored 39 goals and assists in 65 games, with only 7 players in this figure than him in the Premier League.

Goals are not Cunya's only ability, the bigger feature is his ability to drive the ball and break through. His ability to drive the ball from a long distance is crucial to Wolves, who have relied on Cunya to fight back quickly in low post defense in order to relegation. In the 24/25 season, both Gary O'Neal and Pereira used a 3421 technical and tactical system in most games. This system is the key to Amorin's success in Portugal Sports and is also his unstoppable style of playing at Manchester United. With the successful experience of the No. 10 position on the left of the Wolves, I believe that the system of Cunya and Amorin is plug-and-play, and there is almost no need for too much running-in.
