The Red Devils are excited to bolster their attacking options with Cunha, but questions remain about the specific role he will play under new manager Ruben Amorim. Cunha's arrival has sparked speculation among fans and pundits alike. Reports suggest that Amorim, who previously admired Cunha's versatility, may deploy him ahead of Bruno Fernandes in the attacking setup. With United expected to continue with Amorim's preferred 3-4-2-1 formation, Cunha could fill one of the two attacking midfield roles that lacked consistency last season.
