Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinad has made an exciting prediction about forward Matheus Cunha after his heroics in the win over Liverpool.Cunha dazzles against LiverpoolWhile he didn’t score or

Now operating on his favoured left side, Cunha relished in the chaos, running at Liverpool without fear and refusing to let their physicality rid him of the ball. He combined excellently with substitues Sesko and Patrick Dorgu, keeping United high up the pitch and away from Senne Lammens' goal as much as possible.

Nani has claimed that Manchester United duo Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha need time to adjust to the club, following on from their big-money transfers over the summer. The pair joined from Brentford and Wolves, respectively, as the Red Devils looked to improve upon their attacking options.

A £60 million-plus Manchester United signing from Brazil would normally be guaranteed a place in the starting line-up in the biggest game of the season at Liverpool. And yet Matheus Cunha is most likely to spend the first part of Sunday's visit to Anfield in the Premier League warming the bench due to the renaissance of another £60m man in Mason Mount.

Four key Man Utd stars sat out training just days ahead of the crunch derby clash with Liverpool as boss Ruben Amorim continues the struggle to turn his side’s season around.

Cunha is still yet to score or assist after seven appearances in all competitions under Ruben Amorim’s tutelage and a frustrating hamstring injury meant he missed the side’s derby defeat to Manchester City last month.
