Matheus Cunha says it feels like a dream to wear Manchester United’s iconic No. 10 shirt after sealing a £62.5 million move from Wolves, IsaGoal can report.
The number was taken off Marcus Rashford and handed to Cunha, who’s set to play a key role under Erik ten Hag this season.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Cunha said: “Yeah, wow. It’s something that you always dream about. I always think about Wayne Rooney when I see this number.”
The Brazilian also recalled swapping shirts with Rashford and cherishing it: “I have his shirt in my home.” He added, “Of course, we know many players used this shirt — Van Nistelrooy, Ibrahimovic.”
The 25-year-old enjoyed a stellar season at Wolves, scoring 15 Premier League goals and providing 6 assists — a career-best campaign that caught United’s attention.
He’s now embracing the pressure and responsibility that comes with the shirt, saying: “It’s the dream not only to use the shirt, but with all the history they have around the number… it’s something beautiful.”
Cunha continued, “Of course, the responsibility is coming, and I hope I can do everything like goals, assists and help the team.”
Rashford, who wore the No. 10 since 2018, has not featured for United since December and looks set to leave the club after a successful loan spell at Aston Villa.
With his flair, pace, and confidence, Cunha will aim to add his name to a legendary list of United No. 10s.
