He has a great personality, made for United!

The scenes on the pitch at the end show you the dressing you is a happy place.

2 fantastic performances back-to-back! Love him :devil:
 
Such a good signing and he’ll just keep getting better and better
 
He reminds me of Tevez. Skillful yet tenacious, and deceptively strong for his size.

He’s so much better than Tévez technically, and miles stronger. Tévez had an incredible work rate but didn’t have the dribbling ability or close control of Cunha. Cunha has this ability to bull doze his way through people, but he can also play so gracefully with the softest of touches. Just a really rare player. I’m trying to think of a player he reminds me of and none are coming to mind yet.
 
We need to give him a player like Mbuemo has with Amad. I wouldn’t mind trying Heaven at LCB and giving Shaw a run at LWB.
 
He was ready my favourite United player before he even kicked a ball for us. I knew what to expect and I’m not being disappointed at all.

I think once we him and the team develop more we’ll see him score way more goals. He’s at his best goalscoring from the central positions than out wide so if we can give him even more flexibility in coming central he’ll be better.
 
It is so refreshing having a big signing actually turn out well, he's really fun to watch on the pitch
 
I have a simple dream, that dream is to see Cunha and Semenyo on our left, and Mbeumo and Amad on our right.

Probably way too attacking but I’m allowed to dream.
 
Delighted he got his goal which was a class shot. His joy is infectious. Every thing marcus wasnt.
 
He’s mean and gritty in the game but all smiles and jokes off the pitch, seems a favourite amongst the players.
 
He's a rare combination of a player with flair and fight, he's technically top class while also having physicality and the right attitude.

He had a 10/10 performance defending, and took that shot beautifully.

Mbeumo and him are so easy to like. Talented with the right attitude.

MOTM performance.
 
So often you think he lost the ball only to be so good technically and quicker to keep it and run past

I’m scared to say this out loud because I bet people will get triggered at the thought of Semenyo playing as wingback. But Semenyo occupying those positions higher up the pitch Dorgu finds himself him in will take our attack to even greater levels
 
Reminds me of Dwight Yorke - skill and a joy for life and playing with a big smile on his face.
 
We need to give him a player like Mbuemo has with Amad. I wouldn’t mind trying Heaven at LCB and giving Shaw a run at LWB.

Shaw would be perfect if he could stay fit. I suppose that as a lwb he would have to do too much running and therefor wont stay fit though.
 
His dribbling style honestly reminds me of a mix between Rooney’s tenacity and Baggio’s finesse. The way he carries the ball and glides past players has a bit of Iniesta in it too. And there’s something about his presence on the pitch , that quiet confidence, that flair, feels straight out of Baggio’s playbook. Just such a unique, refreshing player to watch. Lucky to have him.

IMO, Matheus Cunha plays like kaká and neymar. He moves with the physicality and directness in the former's style of play with a semblance of that of the latter. Great player to have in our club, hopefully he kicks on from here on.
 
Fantastic moment when he scored, the relief on his face was clear. He does need to learn to do a better knee slide from big Harry though.
 
How happy was he after scoring that goal? Not surprised, you could see in all the games so far when he would take the shot that he was desperate for that first goal. Great moment and day for him.
 
Looks like he has it all. The technique, the physique, the mentality. Brilliant signing.
 
Shaw would be perfect if he could stay fit. I suppose that as a lwb he would have to do too much running and therefor wont stay fit though.
One game a week though, if he could at least get through an hour, similar to Casemiro... can see Amorim trying it, with Martinez LCB.
 
Delighted for him to get off the mark as he deserves it with his performances.
 
Thank God he scored, hopefully that's the monkey off his back and he can go on a scoring run.

I don't want to see him rotated out for Mount, he's too good.

All I can think of is Firmino Dybala or someone like Felix when he was highly rated. He's a cracking player. So glad we got him. He was hiding in plain sight for the rest of the league, teams doing better than us at the time. He always had a great game against us too. So glad he's ours! Night and day with someone like Rashford who has no guile about him at all these days
