Cunha arrived at Old Trafford before Mbeumo, and the Brazilian forward has already contributed seven goals and four assists in 30 appearances this season, becoming a key part of United’s attacking setup. Mbeumo has fared well too, recording ten goals in 27 matches across all competitions, though his form has dipped in the weeks leading into the March break.
In reflecting on Cunha’s impact, Evra highlighted the forward’s speed, vision, and all-around game, noting that the new signings have added different qualities to the Red Devils. Cunha’s current spell under interim manager Michael Carrick has seen him start nine Premier League matches, with two goals and one assist in the Ruben Amorim era so far.
Evra’s comments come as United prepare to return to Premier League action after the international break, with a home match against Leeds United slated for mid-April. The club will hope Cunha and Mbeumo continue to contribute significant attacking threat as they push for consistency in a demanding campaign.
Cunha’s early impact and Evra’s praise underscore United’s positive evaluations of their summer acquisitions, who have brought pace, creativity, and goal threat to the frontline. Both players have become integral to Carrick’s attacking plan, and their development remains crucial as United chase strong results in the latter stages of the season.
