Manchester United’s thrilling 3–2 win over Fulham delivered plenty of excitement, but once the dust settled, the real talking point was Matheus Cunha’s blunt honesty about his revival in front of goal. The Brazilian forward made it clear that his recent scoring surge is no coincidence, crediting Kobbie Mainoo as the key figure behind his resurgence.
After the match, Cunha openly praised the young midfielder, suggesting that his own form has been transformed by Mainoo’s presence and by changes introduced under Michael Carrick. He hinted at frustration with previous tactical decisions, noting that Carrick took the time to listen and adjust the system, a shift Cunha believes has unlocked his best football. His comments quickly caught fire among supporters, many of whom felt he had been misused earlier in the season.
On the pitch, Cunha looked sharper, more confident and far more dangerous against Fulham. Much of that came from Mainoo’s calm control in midfield, his ability to play through pressure and deliver passes at exactly the right moment. Their understanding was obvious, giving United a new balance and fluency in attack.
With confidence growing and momentum building, attention has already turned to the upcoming clash with Tottenham. Inside the squad, belief is rising that if Mainoo remains fit and Cunha stays firing, the goals and victories will continue to flow.
