Three-word Instagram update from £62.5m Man Utd star sparks huge buzz among fans

Manchester United have been handed a huge fitness boost ahead of their Premier League showdown with West Ham United.

Matheus Cunha has dropped a timely injury update on Instagram.

He posted a training-ground celebration on his story, captioned “back, back, back” with a party emoticon.

Cunha had missed the clashes with Everton and Crystal Palace after suffering a head knock in training.

Although many expected him to return for the trip to London, Amorim revealed his absence was purely a precautionary decision.

The 26-year-old sealed a £62.5 million transfer from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer transfer window.

Despite scoring just one league goal in ten appearances, Cunha has been a driving force at Old Trafford.

He has brought the cutting edge and creativity United have sorely lacked in recent seasons.

His relentless work-rate and fierce tenacity have already won over the supporters.

In recent outings, Cunha has shown impressive tactical versatility, frequently drifting into midfield to disrupt passing lanes and snuff out danger.

If the Brazilian is passed fully fit, Ruben Amorim should waste no time in restoring him to the starting XI against the Hammers.

Mason Mount and Joshua Zirkzee scored goals in the 2-1 win over Palace.

They were the unlikely heroes but one of them could make their way for Cunha.

We believe Amorim should start Cunha in the left number 10 spot and retain Zirkzee as the central striker.

Zirkzee looked lost in the first half against the Eagles but improved his showings massively after the break.

Benjamin Sesko is out due to a knee injury.

There is still uncertainty around the availability of Harry Maguire who last feature in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
