- Manchester United have not issued an official update on the forward’s condition or his status for Monday’s Premier League match against Everton.
- ESPN reports, citing sources, that the problem is not thought to be serious and that Cunha could still be passed fit to play.
- Organisers and multiple outlets say the Altrincham appearance was a personal booking rather than a club-arranged engagement.
