Manchester United are set to face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in the Premier League on Saturday.
Man United are in great form after winning three consecutive league games for the first time under manager Ruben Amorim.
Another victory would strengthen their top-four ambitions and further underline their steady transformation under Amorim’s leadership.
One player who could prove decisive once again is Matheus Cunha, who has a sensational record against Forest.
Cunha has faced the Tricky Trees four times and netted three goals.
The 26-year-old has already made a positive impression in front of the United fans through his determination to fight and play for the badge.
He has shown immense composure during duels and has tirelessly aimed to win the ball back.
The £61.5 million-rated star showed remarkable maturity in game management during the 2-1 win over Liverpool, particularly after the Reds drew level.
Despite his courageous displays, he failed to get his name on the scoresheet, but that trend was broken in the 4-2 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.
Cunha put United ahead with a sublime curling finish into the right corner from 20 yards out.
The Brazilian will be eager to build on that momentum and continue his scoring streak at the City Ground.
Facing a side he has historically thrived against will only boost his confidence heading into Saturday’s clash.
Cunha is expected to start in his usual left-sided number 10 role, though Amorim could also deploy him as the central striker if he decides to bring Mason Mount in for Benjamin Sesko.
All eyes will be on the former Wolverhampton Wanderers star to deliver another decisive performance as United chase a fourth straight Premier League win.
