Matheus Cunha showed what we need on Man Utd debut – Ruben Amorim

Ruben Amorim says summer signing Matheus Cunha showed what Manchester United need as they started pre-season with a 0-0 draw against promoted Leeds in Sweden.

Seven weeks after bringing the curtain down on their post-season trip to Malaysia and Hong Kong, the Red Devils stepped up their preparations for the new campaign at the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm.

Amorim’s men and rivals Leeds fought out a scoreless draw, with both sides making wholesale changes midway through a friendly that saw Cunha make his first appearance since his £62.5million switch from Wolves.

Head coach Amorim said: “It was a pre-season game. I think the distance between the sectors was really big sometimes.
