As the Spanish media today writes about the future of Atletico Madrid striker Matheus Cunha, it’s Manchester United who are named as a potential destination for him.

Outlet Marca features a piece claiming the player is on the ‘exit ramp’ at the La Liga side, since he hasn’t been playing much and failed to score any goals this season.

So pointing out that Premier League clubs continue to be interested in him, it’s ‘remembered’ that Manchester United made contact to sign him last summer.

It’s said there was a ‘blunt refusal’ from Atletico Madrid back then, since they saw Cunha as the first option for any of the players in their attacking duo.

The situation had a major change now, not only because he’s looking for more playing time, but also because he was left out of Brazil’s squad for the World Cup.

That means Atletico Madrid will change their stance in the winter window, and that will show up as an opportunity for clubs who still want him.

With Manchester United being linked to several strikers, they are the only club who are actually named in the story as an option for the 23-year-old.
