The Brazilian international recognizes the intense scrutiny the club attracts and views it as an opportunity rather than a burden.<\/p>\n<p>Cunha expressed, &#8220;I really think the pressure on this club is not really pressure. It\u2019s a privilege because this is one of the biggest clubs in the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His decision to join United was motivated by the project&#8217;s appeal and the chance to be part of something significant. &#8220;When Ruben came to me and showed me the project, I felt like it\u2019s a challenge I want to do for my career. United is a club I needed to be at, and like I say it\u2019s a big privilege.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The forward also highlighted United as his dream destination, having turned down multiple offers this summer to commit to the club. &#8220;It\u2019s my dream club. This is what the question is, you know. It\u2019s my dream club. When I had the first meeting with Ruben, I feel like they started to build something very important. And of course, I want to be part of this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, United has strengthened its roster further with the acquisition of Bryan Mbeumo. On the outgoing front, Marcus Rashford recently moved on loan to Barcelona. Other players like Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia remain available for transfer, though manager Ruben Amorim has indicated a willingness to retain them if suitable offers are not received.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matheus Cunha views his Man Utd transfer pressure as a privilege and embraces the challenge ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":624,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[179],"tags":[260,183,261],"class_list":["post-625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-manchester-united","tag-bryan-mbeumo","tag-marcus-rashford","tag-matheus-cunha"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
