Manchester United new signings Cunha and Diego Leon made their first appearances for Manchester United in a friendly against Leeds United. Manchester United manager Amorim said he believes Cunha and Diego Leon will get better and better and build tacit understanding with their teammates.
In the match against Leeds United, Manchester United, after repeated attacks, could only draw 0-0 with Premier League newly promoted Leeds United.
The 26-year-old Cunha joined Manchester United last month after playing for Wolves. In the 2024/25 Premier League season, Cunha scored 15 goals and contributed 6 assists for Wolves, performing very well.
Speaking about Cunha's performance, Manchester United coach Amorim said, "We saw his performance from another team last season, so we are looking forward to him bringing the same performance here."
“In fact, it can be seen that the tacit understanding between him and Bruno Fernandes has not been fully established, but this will form a good combination sooner or later, because Kobe Menou or Mount can also be arranged in that position, so we need to improve our overall strength in the final third.”
In addition, the 18-year-old Diego Leon also got playing time in the match against Leeds United. The young defender from Paraguay previously played for Cerro Porteno and officially joined Manchester United in early July.
"We have to understand that this young player has only just arrived at Manchester United from Paraguay and he has only been with the team for a week or two. He is doing very well, he is learning new things, he is very strong and he will become a better player in the future," Amorim said.
