• He praised Ancelotti for “getting the best out of each player” and said they discuss his positioning between the lines at Manchester United.
• Cunha outlined his shift from a perceived No. 9 to covering centre forward, winger or No. 8 roles, presenting versatility as a positive.
• His United stint is still at an early stage with no goals or assists so far, and the club sit 10th in the Premier League after seven matches with three wins.
• Fresh from a strong display in Brazil’s 5-0 win over South Korea, he said the higher profile at United brings a “weight” he considers a privilege, and he is due to face Japan next before returning to the club.
