Matheus Cunha impressed Manchester United fans with his showing for Brazil against Paraguay.
Footage of Matheus Cunha's performance for Brazil against Paraguay has gone viral as Manchester United fans have pointed out one major aspect of his game.
Man United have agreed a deal with Wolves for Cunha, who is expected to complete his move once he returns from international duty later this month.
The 26-year-old, who has cost the Red Devils £62.5 million, represented Brazil on Wednesday and he made a big impression among Man United fans.
He started Carlo Ancelotti's first win for Brazil, having taken charge of their goalless draw with Ecuador on Thursday.
After making a substitute appearance against Ecuador, Cunha was handed a spot in the starting XI against Paraguay, taking up a No.10 position - where he is likely to play under Ruben Amorim.
And the star forward shone in the attacking third, creating the only goal of the match as he set up Vinicius Jr.
Cunha pounced on a loose ball before picking out Vinicius Jr, who slotted home from close range.
But it wasn't just his assist that got Man United fans' attention.
They were impressed with his work rate and dispelled the myth that he doesn't work for the team.
One X user claimed: "Whoever said he doesn't work hard was lying straight through their teeth."
A second added: "Cunha is a f**king dog I’m so moved."
A third said: "Box crashing capabilities from Cunha, this could be fun if we platform it correctly. As I say, I think with Cunha people are underestimating his creative ability more than anything."

Cunha scored an impressive 17 goals across all competitions for Wolves last season.
He is set to become Man United's first signing of the summer after the club activated the player's release clause in his Wolves contract.
Cunha will sign a five-year deal at Old Trafford, with the option of a further 12 months.
