Matheus Cunha

Cunha's 2025/26 season, read from the numbers

In 2025/26, Matheus Cunha was close to ever-present for Manchester United in the Premier League: 33 appearances and 2503 minutes, averaging 76 minutes per outing. Per 90 minutes that is 0.4 goals per 90, 2.1 shots per 90 and 60% of his shots on target — the rate profile behind Cunha's totals.

Cunha played 880 passes at 80% accuracy — 31.6 per 90, which is the volume that decides whether a side builds through him or around him. Carrying the ball, Cunha attempted 91 dribbles and completed 48% — 3.3 attempts per 90.

Set against Cunha's own record, 2025/26 reads differently: he has managed 15 in a season before, so 10 is well short of his own mark; his average match rating has slipped from 7.63 to 7.13 since 2024/25. Discipline is part of the picture for Cunha: 4 bookings in 33 appearances, one every 8.3 games.

Our records cover 9 seasons of Cunha's career, 2018/19 to 2026/27, across 5 clubs — RB Leipzig, Hertha BSC, Atletico Madrid, Wolves and others. In that time he has played 353 matches across 11 competitions, 22,546 minutes in all. His best return was 33 goals in 2024/25, 23 more than he has managed this time.

Cunha has 25 appearances in UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League on our records, and the level holds either way, 0.40 per 90 domestically against 0.44 in Europe. Cunha has reached 15 goals in a season 2 times, between 2023/24 and 2024/25 — a level held rather than found once.

Away from his club, Cunha has 18 appearances for Brazil on our records, scoring 4 — across World Cup - Qualification South America and World Cup.
