Matheus Cunha has taken to social media to share an update ahead of Man United’s next fixture.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian star has been missing for the Red Devils’ last two fixtures against Everton and Crystal Palace. Losing 1-0 to the Toffees, Ruben Amorim’s side then secured a 2-1 victory over the Eagles at Selhurst Park over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Cunha’s absence was reported as a ‘training ground accident’<\/a> that prevented him from switching on the Christmas lights in Altrincham, before ruling him out of the contest with David Moyes’ side.<\/p>\n

It was then reported that Cunha was knocked out during the incident<\/a>, meaning that his absence was due to concussion protocols.<\/p>\n

Fresh from missing Man United<\/a>‘s last two fixtures, Cunha had been hoping to return to action for the Premier League contest against West Ham United on Thursday.<\/p>\n

While it’s not confirmed that he’ll definitely be involved, the former Wolves forward took to social media on Monday with a message that strongly suggested that he’d been passed fit to be involved against Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.<\/p>\n

Posting on his Instagram story, Cunha wrote: “Back back back!” His post also included an image of him looking happy in training.<\/p>\n

Cunha’s Return A Massive Boost<\/p>\n

The return of Cunha for Manchester United will be a huge boost for Amorim. While the Red Devils did manage to secure a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at the weekend it’s been clear that the team having been missing the Brazilian star.<\/p>\n

Lacking a cutting edge in attack, Amorim’s side have looked stale in attack and lacking in dynamism as a result of Cunha being sidelined.<\/p>\n

Since arriving from Wolves for \u00a362.5million over the summer, the 26-year-old has arguably been Man United’s best player and is already justifying his price tag with his performances.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Man United, results have been hard to come by on a consistent basis, with the club sitting seventh in the table. If they’re going to crack the top six and build a sustainable challenge for Champions League football, then they’ll need players performing at the top of their game \u2014 something that Cunha is certainly doing.<\/p>\n

While he’s only managed one goal so far this term, performances suggest that there’s a lot more to come from Cunha and fans will undoubtedly be happy to see him back in the team on Thursday night, if selected.<\/p>\n
