Cunha Backs Manchester United to Bounce Back from Early Struggles

Matheus Cunha believes Manchester United should not be dismissed after their early-season difficulties, pointing to the club’s recovery in the previous campaign as evidence that the picture can change quickly.

The Brazilian forward said criticism is premature, recalling that United also made an unconvincing start last season before recovering strongly enough to finish third in the Premier League.

United’s position in the table will again be judged over a longer run of fixtures rather than the opening weeks alone. Cunha’s view is that the squad have already shown they can respond to a difficult spell and turn their league form around over the course of a season.
