Could be regular starter for Brazil
Cunha could be a regular starter for Brazil in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Analysis: Brazil's lone true striker in the squad is 19-year-old forward Endrick, so Cunha might be asked to deploy in that position with the support of Raphinha, Vinicius Junior and potentially Neymar (thigh) behind him. Cunha has played as a striker in the past, and he's coming off a successful season with Manchester United, tallying 10 goals and two assists in 33 EPL outings (29 starts) in 2025/26. Cunha's versatility and ability to play across the attacking third should give him consistent minutes regardless of his role.
Finds back of net
Cunha scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and four chances created in Sunday's 3-2 win against Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Cunha was back on the scoresheet Sunday as he found the back of the net in the 55th minute, his club's second goal of the contest. This marks a third goal in his past five outings, with 18 shots during that span. He is up to 10 goals and two assists in 33 appearances (29 starts) this campaign.
