Cunha must shine every week
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has challenged Matheus Cunha to reproduce the performance he gave at Liverpool in every game.
Our no.10 dazzled at Anfield, becoming more and more influential as the game wore on, and this on the back of representing Brazil in a couple of friendlies in the Far East during the international break.
It was a testament to his stamina, in addition to his undoubted quality on the ball, but Amorim is demanding more from the forward, starting in Saturday's Premier League game against Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford.
Amorim: He deserves to win titles at this club

"He brings something that is hard for us to point [at], it's not just the ability and the talent," Amorim told MUTV's Mark Sullivan in his exclusive interview at Carrington.
"He has something that he is really comfortable playing in this kind of environment. He can take our team forward.
"He needs to improve a lot of things, especially defending, but he has something special and he is a really important player for us.
"He can play in different positions, so I expect the same in the next game because, in our club, it's really important to show it in every week."
Saturday's clash with the Seagulls would be a good moment for Cunha to open his goal account for the Reds, after a bright start to his career here.
The 26-year-old scored against Brighton during his time with Wolves and will be looking to build on his exceptional performance on Merseyside, as United look to climb the table.
