Matheus Santos Carneiro da Cunha

Matheus Santos Carneiro da Cunha

Matheus Cunha attacks space and drifts into central zones to link play, sprinting behind lines to force defenders into uncomfortable choices. He checks short then spins in behind, creating separation for the attack. Cunha reads the game with deft touches. In 2021, Matheus Cunha earned a high-profile transfer to Atlético Madrid from Hertha Berlin. That Olympic triumph with Brazil in Tokyo marks a major international milestone, and his 2023–24 spell with Wolves yielded 22 goal contributions, including a hat-trick at Chelsea. In 2025, Cunha joined Manchester United for the 2025/26 campaign. As a forward, Cunha presses high, attacks space and the back post, and links play with quick one-twos, finishing moves when possibilities arise.
