Cunha reacts to scoring first United goal
Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha was overjoyed after netting his first goal for the club in our 4-2 win over Brighton & Albion.
Ruben Amorim's side scored four times against the Seagulls in M16 to make it three Premier League wins in a row, following successes against Sunderland and Liverpool.
With confidence brimming amid our recent run of form, Cunha could not hide his emotions after netting the opener, his maiden strike for the club since joining from Wolves in the summer.
"Wow. I worked so hard for this. The win [for] start[ers], to come in and I'm so happy.
"But of course I want a little bit more contribution and then today's coming, [but] we win and then everything's fine."
"We have little actions [but] when you play in the front, [you have] to score goals. I have [to have] more contributions. But the last time I said this, if my participation is to help the team and then we start doing [well], I'll be happy also.
"But of course with this goal, everyone will be around me to push me. The guys started to joke and then said: 'Wow, you can score!'. These things happen and everyone pushes me and I feel so happy to be here."
Having been brought to the club by Amorim earlier this year, our no.10 is happy to be repaying the faith shown in him by our boss.
"Everyone has full confidence in [Ruben] Amorim," said Matheus. "He is someone that pushes us forward.
"He is always very stressed until we start to win, and then he improves every day. Of course, he deserves this, Man United deserve this.
"This needs to be the normal for this club. I am so happy to be a part of this. Amazing day, I will remember this.”
