Acordo between CBF and Manchester United prioritizes physical recovery
Negotiations gained momentum after Matheus Cunha scored a decisive goal in the victory against Liverpool, a match that ensured United’s presence in the next edition of Champions League. With the main objective of the season achieved, the English club decided not to risk its athlete in commitments that no longer bring competitive obligations.

Matheus Cunha is a central piece in Seleção’s offensive scheme and his absence due to injury would compromise Mundial’s plans.
Recovery Programa under shared supervision
The agreement provides for the attacker to carry out a special recovery program under the joint supervision of the medical departments of Manchester United and the CBF. The measure is preventive, as the player is able to perform, but the risk of muscle rupture in high-intensity matches was considered high by the professionals involved.
