In a thrilling clash against Fulham at Old Trafford, Alan Martin Smith, a Sky Sports commentator and Arsenal legend, singled out Manchester United’s fan-favorite Matheus Cunha for special praise after he scored a clinical, pinpoint strike to double his side’s lead.
Michael Carrick’s side delivered another gripping contest and secured another three points, extending Manchester United’s winning run to three games in a row.
Matheus Cunha is now one of United’s most in-form stars, having previously netted a superb winning goal at the Emirates Stadium.
During Sky Sports’ commentary of United’s match against Fulham, Alan Smith reacted to Cunha’s goal, making no secret of his admiration for the Brazilian’s immense talent.
“He scored a crucial goal against Arsenal, and now another one against Fulham. Just when you thought the game was tight and hanging in the balance.”
“This lad was born to play for Manchester United. He has that special aura about him. Magic in his boots, and the Stretford End absolutely adores him.”
Cunha faced heavy criticism earlier in the season for a lack of goals, but he has scored four goals in his last six appearances – all of them coming at decisive moments – making it impossible for his critics to fault his performances any longer.
