Rio Ferdinand names established MU star who will lose his shirt number to Cunha

Rio Ferdinand admitted that he fears the future of one player from Manchester United to lose his shirt number to the new signing Matheus Cunha.

United confirmed the £ 62.5 million arrival of Cunha after he concluded a deal with Wolves and the attacker was set up to complete his move as soon as he returns from the international service.

The 26-year-old will be the first arrival of Ruben Amorim this summer after United has activated his release clause, and he will sign a first five-year contract.

Cunha was seen that the Lowry Hotel in Salford with his pregnant partner left on Sunday afternoon before he came to his teammates from Brazil.

Desperate to tackle the lack of goals on his part, Amorim quickly moved to dive to Cunha, but his arrival could almost guarantee that a current united Aas is taking place.

The man in question is of course Marcus Rashford, who came on loan at Aston Villa in January after a breakdown in his relationship with the United Head Coach.

Ferdinand, his opinion on the signing of Cunha, said his Tiktok -followers: “One of the few players I mentioned a few weeks ago, if I had a shopping list, he would be there. He knows the Premier League, so he does not need an adjustment time.

“This is a huge factor. I think if you are going to buy players from foreign competitions, players who do not have the experience in the Premier League, there is always a risk. He has the experience here. We saw him here.

“He grew on a Man United fan.

'I hear that he is taking the no 10 shirt, that Rashford's shirt was. What does that mean for Marcus Rashford? Don't know.

'There are many questions that will be asked about this.

'17 Goals, six assists in 36 games for a Wolves team, I find it impressive. I think the recruitment team would have seen for Manchester United, and the coaches would have seen here what he had done with Man United in Old Trafford.

“He cut by Man United like a hot knife through butter.”

According to recent reports, the hope of Rashford is to secure a permanent departure from United, bored with Barcelona that is not willing to meet his £ 40 million price tag.

Barcelona sports director Deco admitted that he will find Rashford 'fun' last month and the attacker is for sale, with the Catalan giants apparently his dream destination.

The 27-year-old impressed during his short loan saying with Villa, scored four goals and registered six assists in his 17 performances under Unai Emery.

His promising displays, however, were limited by a hamstring injury.
