Manchester United have a huge season ahead as they look to get back to the levels that made them one of the biggest and most famous clubs in the world.
The Red Devils endured one of their worst seasons in recent history last term, finishing 15th in the Premier League table and failing to win silverware.
However, Manchester United have set about trying to rebuild and regroup in pre-season, making one signing and working on a second.
Old Trafford legend Andrew Cole has now given his verdict on Matheus Cunha, who the Red Devils have signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Andrew Cole backs Matheus Cunha to solve Manchester United’s creativity problems
Cunha is the first signing of the summer for Man United, who paid Wolves £62.5million for his signature.
Cole said “everyone has been talking” about Man United not creating enough chances, and suggested that Cunha is just the man to solve the problem.
“Hopefully he brings a lot of creativity,” Cole said of Cunha on Sky Sports News.
“Everyone has been talking about Manchester United not creating enough chances. He’s a player who can do just that.
“I’m looking forward to it, and no doubt he’s looking forward to it as well, which is the most important thing.
“He can get himself a good pre-season and go from there.”
Man United are also in talks over Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, one of the Premier League’s standout players from last season.

The three other players Rio Ferdinand wanted at Man United this summer
Back in April, Old Trafford legend Rio Ferdinand named four players he hoped Man United would sign this summer.
One of them was Cunha, with Ferdinand saying: “Another one I’d go and buy is Cunha. He’s made it clear that he wants to leave so I’d go and get Cunha.”
Out of the other three players, two are still available, while the other has gone and joined arch-rivals Liverpool.
Ferdinand said: “I want a centre midfielder to play alongside (Manuel) Ugarte, that player needs to be able to take the ball and transfer it through to Bruno and the strikers.
“And you know who I’d go for? Adam Wharton.”
He also said: “Osimhen. And I know, sorry Napoli and Galatasaray, if I’m Man United, Osimhen comes to Man United next year, I’m making it happen.”
As for the one who is now at Liverpool, Ferdinand said at the time: “You know who else I’d go and get? (Jeremie) Frimpong at right wing-back.”
