Matheus Cunha will be in action for Brazil at this summer’s World Cup after earning a call-up to Carlo Ancelotti’s squad. The Manchester United forward has enjoyed a superb debut season at Old Trafford and could play a crucial role for the record holders.
The 26-year-old has already earned 21 caps for Selecao, and he’ll be hoping to make that at least three in the USA, Canada and Mexico. He has thrived on the left of a three-man attack for United this season.
Cunha has been a regular under Ancelotti heading into the tournament. He’s played various roles, including as a second striker and in attacking midfield.
