No surprise, it was completed soon, Manchester United's signing speed continued to satisfy the fans. Cunya from Wolves has joined the team after the Premier League summer transfer window opened and is currently following the Brazilian national team to participate in the World Cup South American qualifiers.

Matus Cunia, who just celebrated her 26th birthday last week, came to Old Trafford as she wished, with a transfer fee of up to 74 million euros, becoming the eighth-most expensive player in Manchester United's history to sign up. It seems a bit controversial whether this expenditure is worth it. However, Manchester United legend Ferdinand is very supportive and believes that Cunha has adapted to the Premier League and is a player who perfectly fits the Amorin system.

Last season, Wolves and Manchester United scored 42 points, both teams that were relegated early and had no worries. In terms of the league, Cunha has scored 15 goals and 12 goals in the past two seasons, and its assists are close to double digits, and has proved himself in the Premier League. In the home and away game against Manchester United, Wolves defeated their opponents twice, and Cunha performed well, both of which were rated as the best in the game, leaving a deep impression.

In terms of the national team, Cunha once represented Brazil, defeated Spain in the final and won the Olympic gold medal, with familiar names such as Torres, Mendy, Merino, Pedri and Asensio. In fact, Manchester United already has a Brazilian Olympic gold medal player, and his name is Anthony. At that time, Cunha took the lead in scoring, Anthony assisted in overtime, and the two teamed up to help Brazil win the championship.

Unfortunately, in the subsequent Qatar World Cup, Cunya was eventually defeated by the 26ers roster. Three months ago, Cunya scored his first goal of the adult national team in Brazil's crushing defeat to Argentina. After Ancelotti took charge, Cunya, Casemiro and Anthony were selected as they wished in the big roster released not long ago. As long as they defeat Ecuador and Paraguay, Brazil is expected to receive a ticket to the World Cup in advance. After Cunha came to the team, he believed that he could bring more vitality to Manchester United's offensive end and more reliable scoring ability. Although the outside world still has doubts about Cunha, it should be considered a real but not flashy deal for Manchester United, which is deeply trapped in the vortex.

After confirming joining, Cunia's number became the focus of discussion among fans. In fact, there is still a lot of mystery which jersey to get in the end. If it is No. 10, it means that Rashford's departure has become a reality. Perhaps this is the result that everyone is looking forward to. Cunia, who is positive and diligent on the court, will definitely bring more help than Rashford.

If you wear the No. 9 jersey, it means that Hoylen will leave the team. From the above list, it can be seen that Hoylen's transfer fee is higher than that of Cunha. However, except in the Champions League, Hoylen has never been able to reflect his value, and only the main selling point of youth is left, which is far from enough for a giant team.

Of course, as a member of the midfield and frontcourt, the No. 8 jersey also has a chance, but this may be the worst case. If Cunha gets No. 8, it means that Rashford stays in the team and captain Fernandez leaves the team, which may be a scene that fans are reluctant to see.

It is expected that Cunya's number will not be determined so quickly, and it will be determined by waiting for the results of the transfer window this summer. When Manchester United chose Cunha as practical and proved its players in the Premier League, it means that the team will soon be back on track, which is what everyone is most looking forward to.
