Matheus Cunha reveals pride in wearing Manchester United number 10

Matheus Cunha will wear the number 10 shirt at Manchester United next season following his £62.5 million transfer from Wolves.

The Brazilian striker expressed his pride in wearing the number previously worn by Marcus Rashford since 2018 — a number also synonymous with club legend Wayne Rooney.

“It’s something that you always dream about. When I see this number in this United jersey, I always think about Wayne Rooney. He was someone that I grew up watching,” Cunha stated.

The 26-year-old recorded an impressive performance last season with Wolves, scoring 15 goals and providing 6 assists in the league. He mentioned several legendary players who have worn United’s number 10:

• Wayne Rooney
• Ruud van Nistelrooy
• Zlatan Ibrahimovic
• Marcus Rashford

“It’s not just about wearing the jersey, but also the history behind the number. I feel honored and ready to take on this responsibility to score goals and help the team,” he added.
