Matheus Cunha received a touching show of support from his wife ahead of his Manchester United debut against Arsenal at Old Trafford. The Brazilian forward was named in the starting XI for United’s Premier League opener, lining up alongside fellow new signing Bryan Mbeumo.
Cunha’s wife took to social media to share an eight-word message that read: “Let’s go, always with you, always proud.” Her post came just moments after the official confirmation of her husband’s debut for the Red Devils.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Sesko, United’s big-name arrival from RB Leipzig, began the match on the bench as manager Ruben Amorim opted for a tactical approach aimed at securing an opening-day victory.
As United looked to kick off their 2025/26 campaign on a high, title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City had already set the pace with wins over Bournemouth and Wolves, respectively. The pressure was on both United and Arsenal to deliver early in what promises to be a fiercely competitive season.
