Matheus Cunha surprised Manchester United fans with his performance for Brazil against Paraguay.
Footage of Matheus Cunha’s performance for Brazil against Paraguay has gone viral, with Manchester United fans highlighting one key part of his game.
Man United have signed a deal with Wolves for Cunha, who is set to complete the transfer when he returns from international duty later this month.
The 26-year-old, who cost the Red Devils £62.5 million, represented Brazil on Wednesday and made a strong impact on Manchester United fans.
He started Carlo Ancelotti’s first win for Brazil after taking charge of their goalless draw against Ecuador on Thursday.
After coming in as a substitute against Ecuador, Cunha was named to the starting XI against Paraguay, where he would most likely play under Ruben Amorim.
And the star forward sparkled in the attacking third, assisting Vinicius Jr. to score the game’s sole goal.

Cunha pounced on a loose ball before finding Vinicius Jr, who finished from close range.
But it wasn’t simply his assist that piqued Manchester United fans’ interest.
They were impressed by his work ethic and debunked the idea that he does not work for the team.
One X user stated, “Whoever said he doesn’t work hard was lying straight through their teeth.”
A second commented, “Cunha is a f**king dog; I’m so moved.”
A third said: “Cunha’s box crashing capabilities could be entertaining if we platform it appropriately. As I already stated, I believe that people underestimate Cunha’s creative abilities more than anything else.
Cunha scored an incredible 17 goals in all competitions for Wolves last season.
He is expected to become Manchester United’s first signing of the summer after the club exercised the player’s release clause in his Wolves contract.
Cunha will sign a five-year contract at Old Trafford, with an option for a further year.
