EPL: What Ronaldinho and Ronaldo Nazário Told Matheus Cunha Before Manchester United Transfer

Manchester United’s summer acquisition, Matheus Cunha, has revealed details of a heartwarming conversation he had with two of Brazil’s most iconic football legends, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo Nazário, before sealing his high-profile move to Old Trafford.

The Brazilian forward, who secured his transfer from Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier this summer under the management of Ruben Amorim, disclosed that both Ronaldinho and Ronaldo gave him strong encouragement and expressed admiration for Manchester United as a club.

According to Cunha, their words gave him even greater confidence that moving to the Red Devils was the right decision at this stage of his career.

Speaking in an interview with Sky Sports, Cunha recalled the exact moment Ronaldinho reacted to his news:

“Ronaldinho just said, ‘Wow.’ He told me, ‘It’s one of the biggest clubs in the world. You deserve it. Honestly, if you have the opportunity, you have to take it. It’s an unbelievable club.’”

Cunha then revealed what Ronaldo Nazário – widely regarded as one of the greatest strikers in football history – told him about life at Manchester United:

“And Ronaldo spoke about the atmosphere at Old Trafford, about the fans and the history. He explained the feeling you get when you step into the stadium. For me, it already felt like a perfect movie, but when they said it, I felt like the decision was already confirmed.”

Since his arrival at United, Cunha has already featured in two Premier League matches, coming up against Arsenal and Fulham, as he begins to adapt to the demands of English football at the highest level.

The Brazilian international is determined to make his mark, with advice from his country’s legendary figures still fresh in his mind as he embraces this new chapter at Manchester United.
