Manchester United’s Matheus Cunha unleashed another moment of magic to help the team win again.
While Benjamin Sesko scored the match winning goal, Matheus Cunha helped set Manchester United on the way.
Cunha netted United’s second goal of the game with a thunderous strike into the roof of the net after a no-look assist from Casemiro.
Stepping into the starting line-up in place of the injured Patrick Dorgu, Cunha had been pushing for inclusion with his form from the bench in the last two matches.
Cunha now has three goal contributions in three games under Michael Carrick, and we could get used to the sight of his celebration.
