Manchester United are settling into life in the Ruben Amorim era, with the Portuguese manager working on his ideal first team going forward.
His first game with the Red Devils saw Amorim’s men draw 1-1 with Ipswich.
Whilst the 39-year-old has injuries with Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro, Victor Lindelof and Kobbie Mainoo to overcome, Amorim still had the majority of his first team to experiment with.
Stars like Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot and Casemiro all made the first team, with Jonny Evans and Noussair Mazraoui joining Matthijs de Ligt in a back three.
However, whilst there are a couple of areas that need work like the flanks and upfront, it’s the striker role that is now being looked at for The Red Devils.

Manchester United look to Matheus Cunha
Now, TBR Football has reported that Manchester United are once more looking at Matheus Cunha.
The Wolves striker has had a great run this season, with seven goals and three assists in 13 games, including a brace and assist in his most recent outing beating Fulham 4-1.
United are reportedly joined by Tottenham Hotspur in looking for the Brazilian striker this summer.
Cunha has been on United’s radar for some time now with the Red Devils linked to the star earlier this summer.
It’s believed that United are looking to Cunha as a replacement for Joshua Zirkzee who already looks set to leave Old Trafford only a year after arriving.
Zirkzee arrived at United against Erik ten Hag’s wishes and presented to training a stone overweight and out of shape. His time at United has been dismal, failing to break into the squad, with his prospects looking less than hopeful under Amorim.
The new manager opted to go with Rashford as his starting striker, relegating Rasmus Hojlund to the bench. So, the arrival of Cunha could provide another interesting option to Amorim’s attacking lineup.
