Hupu reported on October 25 that according to the English media "Daily Mirror", the media wrote a column about the situation of Manchester United forward Cunha.

When Cunha joined Manchester United, he was labeled "difficult to manage". The Brazilian attacker is easy-going and cheerful off the field, but he is as fiery on the field - as evidenced by his repeated red cards at Wolves. Even the Manchester United board had hesitated whether the character player could adapt to the never-ending pressure and exposure at Old Trafford. However, coach Amor ignored all opinions and spent six months repeatedly studying game videos and conducting in-depth investigations through football contacts to finally finalize this blockbuster signing.

Amorim has almost paranoid requirements for professionalism. Because of this, when Cunha showed up at the Carrington base for extra training 24 hours in advance after the international match day, the coach's admiration was beyond words. A club insider revealed: "This additional training perfectly reflects his attitude and dedication. He exhausted his last breath of energy in the Anfield game, but still patiently completed all media interviews after the game - this is a portrayal of his character."

Manchester United staff were impressed by his humble and courteous behavior, which is rare among top stars. Cunha lives a self-disciplined life, actively fulfills his business contract obligations, and is willing to participate in sponsor activities and charity affairs. But the most commendable thing is still his performance on the court - not only in official games, but also in team training, he also shows aggression, and even steals the ball from his teammates to show his dominance. This competitive spirit is deeply appreciated by Amorim.

Insiders added: "He has become an important member of the Spanish-Portuguese player group in the locker room and can effectively promote team cohesion. The coach is very satisfied with the way he handles the pressure of the giants." The "bad boy" impression once caused by the Wolves' red card has now been completely shattered.
