Brazilian Federation and Manchester United Agree to Rest Cunha Before World Cup
Tuesday 05-05-2026
At a time when several players are suffering from injuries that have concerned coach Carlo Ancelotti ahead of the World Cup, the coaching staff received positive news regarding Matheus Cunha, a player for the Brazilian national team, according to ESPN.

In recent days, Konya had suffered from an issue with his adductor muscles, and despite continuing to feel some pain, he returned to participate and contributed by scoring a goal in Manchester United's victory over Liverpool, in the match that secured the team's qualification for the Champions League next season.

According to the same source, an agreement has been reached between the Brazilian Football Confederation and Manchester United to rest the player in the last three matches of the Premier League, with the aim of ensuring his full recovery before participating in the World Cup.

This decision comes despite the player's ability to participate, but the aim is to ensure his full physical readiness before the tournament, which is more than a month away.

On the other hand, the network indicated that the Brazilian federation and the player, through his agent, deny the existence of any agreement to rest him in the recent matches, and Manchester United also confirmed that they were not aware of this information.

Manchester United still has several matches remaining in the Premier League, including an away game against Sunderland, a home match against Nottingham Forest, and then an away game against Brighton.
