Image keyphrase: Matheus Cunha Manchester United EPL debut Former Manchester United forward, Michael Owen, has expressed doubts regarding the temperament and discipline of the club’s latest signing, Matheus Cunha. It will be recalled that Manchester United officially secured the services of the Brazilian attacker earlier this summer from Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves). The 26-year-old striker made his English Premier League debut for the Red Devils during their narrow 1-0 defeat against Arsenal at Old Trafford last weekend. While praising the acquisition, Owen insisted that Cunha carries a worrying reputation from his time at Wolves, where he was often at the center of heated exchanges and disciplinary issues. “My only question mark is his attitude,” Owen stated in an interview with AskGamblers, as reported by Metro UK. According to Owen, Cunha has a tendency to lose control in high-pressure situations. He noted that the forward has been guilty of unnecessary altercations, excessive arm-waving on the pitch, and frequent dismissals. He further highlighted that United already have a similar fiery character in Bruno Fernandes, which could create additional tension within the squad. “He gets sent off a lot, he waves his arms a lot, and you already have someone like that in Bruno Fernandes. Maybe being at Manchester United, being at a massive club, will help discipline him,” Owen explained. The ex-England striker also recalled past incidents where Cunha overstepped boundaries, including unsportsmanlike conduct such as grabbing glasses off individuals after matches, heated arguments with referees, and confrontations with opposition players. Despite these concerns, Owen concluded that Cunha is undoubtedly a talented forward who can make a positive impact at United if he channels his energy correctly.“I think it’s a brilliant signing. But that is my only question mark,” he emphasized.
