Overview

• United spent roughly £200m on forwards Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko after last season’s 44-goal league return.
• Cunha said he “doesn’t really care” about criticism of his temperament, framing his edge as love for the game after two Wolves bans totaling five matches.
• The Brazilian impressed on debut against Arsenal, registering four shots and four dribbles and being rated among United’s best performers.
• Manager Ruben Amorim described a marked lift in confidence and said he now feels excited going into matches compared with last year.
• Matthijs de Ligt praised Mbeumo as “really explosive” while noting he is not yet fully fit, with reports emphasizing the newcomers’ ability to play as No 10s or lead the line.
