Matheus Cunha has urged Manchester United fans to remain confident in the team despite their difficult start to the new Premier League campaign, insisting that there is still plenty of belief inside the dressing room.
The Brazilian forward pointed to United’s improvement last season as a reason for optimism, recalling how the team eventually recovered to finish third after a difficult beginning. Cunha believes an earlier turnaround this time could lead to a positive campaign.
Cunha’s message comes after United endured another frustrating result, drawing 1-1 away to Fulham on Sunday. He scored a late deflected equaliser in the 89th minute to rescue a point for Michael Carrick’s side. United have collected five points from their opening five league games.
Softfootball reports that the result followed an even more painful setback against Brighton in the Carabao Cup. United threw away a two-goal advantage at Old Trafford before Brighton completed a 3-2 comeback, with Pascal Gross and Maxim De Cuyper scoring after Charalampos Kostoulas had pulled one back.
Cunha believes United must learn from those performances and find the right balance between the intensity that can produce late comebacks and the calmness needed to control matches.
He has also stressed that the players still have strong belief in what they are doing and that the season remains in its early stages. The international break now gives Carrick and his squad time to assess their performances and work on improvements before a demanding October schedule.
For Cunha, the key message to supporters is patience and faith. United showed last season that they can recover from a difficult start, and he believes an earlier improvement this time could change the direction of their campaign.
