Matheus Cunha injured in the match against Burnley: Will the Brazilian play against Man City?.

The injury of Matheus Cunha complicates Ruben Amorim's week

According to The Sun: Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim is facing new difficulties after the injury of newcomer Matheus Cunha.

Cunha, who transferred to the club for 62.5 million pounds, had to leave the pitch due to injury in the first half of the match against Burnley.

The 26-year-old player left the field after 30 minutes of play, which caused disappointment among fans.

Cunha, who has already become one of United's best players, appeared to be holding his knee.

Although the extent of the injury is currently unknown, the Brazilian could miss the important derby against Manchester City after the international break.

United faces Pep Guardiola's team on September 14.

This could also mean that Cunha will not be called up to the Brazilian national team under Carlo Ancelotti, which is preparing for matches against Chile and Bolivia in the coming weeks.

Fans outraged by the substitution

The fans were not only disappointed by Cunha's loss but also by Amorim's decision to substitute him.

The coach chose to bring on Joshua Zirkzee instead of Cunha, ignoring the 74 million pounds newcomer Benjamin Sesko.

Sesko, who has not yet played in United's starting eleven, seemed an obvious choice to replace Cunha, which caused an uproar among fans on social media.

A fan wrote: “I don't understand why Sesko didn't come on instead of Cunha, this is crazy.”

Another added: “Amorim's decision to go with Zirkzee instead of Sesko when Cunha was injured is simply unbelievable!!”

A third asked: “Does Amorim not consider Sesko his top striker number 9 if Zirkzee comes on after Cunha's injury, or is he just not in form?”

A fourth was outraged: “Sesko is already the third striker in the team.”

This happened after Sesko failed to convert the TENTH penalty during United's humiliating defeat in the Carabao Cup against League Two club Grimsby last week.

AFP EPA Cunha's absence and the failed substitution Amorim chose presents additional challenges for Manchester United. Fans are already expressing their discomfort, not just due to injuries but also because of the coach's decisions regarding important matches. In the future, the team must find a way to succeed under difficult conditions as the upcoming matches can determine their further course in the season.
