Injury Blow for Manchester United
Manchester United have been dealt a fresh injury setback, with key forward Matheus Cunha confirmed to miss the upcoming Premier League fixture against Everton. The Brazilian international sustained a minor knock during a training session, ruling him out of the important match.
How the News Emerged
The player's absence was unexpectedly revealed when he failed to attend a scheduled Christmas lights switch-on event in Altrincham. While the club has confirmed the injury, they have moved to reassure fans that the issue is not believed to be serious. Nevertheless, it presents an immediate problem for manager Ruben Amorim, who is already contending with a depleted squad.
Amorim's Selection Headache Worsens
Cunha's unavailability compounds United's attacking woes. Fellow striker Benjamin Sesko remains sidelined with an injury, and Rasmus Hojlund is unavailable as he is currently out on loan. This forces Amorim into a significant reshuffle for the game against Everton. Joshua Zirkzee is now set to make his first Premier League start of the season. He will be supported in attack by Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo. In defence, Leny Yoro will step in to replace the injured Harry Maguire.
The absence of such a crucial player is always a concern, and all eyes will be on how this revamped Manchester United lineup performs under pressure at Goodison Park.
