Manchester United have been told the signing of Matheus Cunha will not provide an instant fix for their problems, with one former star raising concerns over what the Brazilian can bring to the Red Devils and with club bosses also told why they will rue missing out on another top summer target.
However, former United star Gordon Strachan has doubted the wisdom in the capture, suggesting
Cunha may not fit in well with Amorim’s favoured formation.
“Manchester United’s interest in Matheus Cunha is good news for the club – he’s a great player and very talented,” Strachan began on
Esports Insider, before adding. “But with his 3-4-3 formation, where will Ruben Amorim play him? That’s the thing, Amorim’s formation is a problem.
“Will United play him where he plays now for Wolves? Will they stick him in midfield? Where does he fit into Amorim’s formation? Will he be the one up top? I don’t think so.”
Strachan isn’t totally writing Cunha off at Old Trafford, but does feel the Red Devils need to sign another top star alongside him for the capture of the 13-times capped Brazil star to prove a success.
Strachan, though, feels missing out on Delap could hit United hard.
“I think Liam Delap would have been a brilliant signing for United if he hadn’t chosen Chelsea. He’s young, hungry, has no baggage coming from Ipswich, is a great finisher, and defenders don’t like coming up against him,” he said.
“Cunha and Delap would have been a nice, fresh combo. They would be a great combination – both fresh and hungry. But getting the right supply system around any new attackers is just as important, which is something Amorim will need to work out as well.”
