November 2025

Cunha welcomed comparisons but dismissed equivalence with Eric Cantona, citing the need to deliver far more before such parallels hold. He prioritizes embodying passion and responsibility while spearheading United’s climb under Amorim. The Brazilian positions himself as a culture carrier rather than icon, focusing on sustained output and big-match influence to earn legacy status organically rather than by rhetoric.
