Relegation Noise! Matheus Cunha hits back at Man Utd critics
Matheus Cunha has launched an attack on Manchester United critics following the Red Devils unimpressive start to the new Premier League campaign.
Currently sitting 12th in the Premier League table, United have secured just two victories in seven matches across all competitions this season.
Michael Carrick‘s team are winless in their last three outings. Their latest setback came on Sunday, playing out a 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage, where Cunha rescued a point with a crucial equaliser.
With pressure now beginning to mount on the team, Cunha was quick to highlight that United faced an even tougher environment last season before ultimately securing a third-place finish in the league.
The Brazilian stressed that the squad has already proven their ability to bounce back from early adversity.

”Last season was my first season here, and then maybe it was more crazy than this one,” Cunha explained. “There was a lot of noise around us, a season without Champions League. Maybe people were saying ‘Oh, United will go to the Championship’ or something like that.”
”And then at the end of the day, we finished third, you know? I feel like inside of us, we still have a lot of trust, we know what we do, all the belief is inside,” he added.
Cunha and his United team mates are heading into the international break knowing they need positive result when the league resume.
The Brazilian admitted his personal frustration at having to wait for the next fixture, but acknowledged the long-term benefits of the break. “I’m so anxious to play the next one,” the 27-year-old star admitted. “Of course, when you don’t win, you feel this kind of feeling to let’s play the next one to win and feel everything good.
”But yeah, maybe it’s the moment to be calm, to put the ideas in the right way, to come back. And then of course that could be a big month.”
Club football resume in October with United facing a critical stretch of fixtures that could define the trajectory of their season.
The Red Devils will need to instantly find their rhythm as they prepare for a demanding run against Tottenham, Atletico Madrid, and Como.
