Sky Sports<\/a>, Neville highlighted Cunha for his quality, disputing the claims that he\u2019s struggled in his United career, arguing he\u2019s played really well.<\/p>\n\u201cWhen you watch him play for United, he adds so much\u201d, the legendary United defender explained.<\/p>\n
Continuing, he added, \u201cCunha\u2019s play is fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Matheus Cunha deserved to be on the winning team vs Bournemouth <\/p>\n
Was that Matheus Cunha’s best performance for Man Utd?<\/p>\n

Throughout this season, Cunha has been playing really well, but with goals and assists beginning to flow, he will get the credit he deserves.<\/p>\n
Matheus Cunha was always going to come good for Manchester United<\/p>\n
While he didn\u2019t have the start that he would have been dreaming of at United, Cunha is simply too good a footballer not to come good in the long run, and we are now seeing that.<\/p>\n
Cunha was very good against Wolves, getting an assist, and now he\u2019s got a second goal of the season, which should do wonders for his confidence ahead of facing Aston Villa next weekend.<\/p>\n
Outside of his goal, Cunha created three chances for teammates, and his ability to drop deep, drive with the ball and make space are all invaluable.<\/p>\n
Hopefully, he can now kick on even more and help United not feel the effects of missing Amad and Bryan Mbeumo.<\/p>\n
