Scout report

Top-tier performerWinger

Matheus Cunha is a 27-year-old winger at Manchester United, rated 74.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 158th of 380 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (73.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0.07 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cunha.

Judged on this season alone, Cunha graded 45 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 13% of the 41 wingers in the Premier League, on 10 goals and 2 assists in 33 appearances (0.431 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 65 → 45). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 75, 22nd of 41 of the 41 wingers in the Premier League. At 27 Cunha is in his prime years, and a market index of 89.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Cunha missed 4 games through injury (health problems, wound, groin) out of roughly 38 this season. The 33 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
