Agbonlahor blasts Man United's Cunha: 'Ego high, performance low'
Former Aston Villa captain Gabriel Agbonlahor has called out Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha for his disappointing start to the 2026‑27 Premier League season, pointing out that the Brazilian has registered just one assist and no goals in his first four league appearances. Speaking on talkSPORT, Agbonlahor said Cunha’s ego is "up there" but his on‑field output does not match, and he questioned why fans focus criticism on Marcus Rashford while overlooking Cunha’s struggles.
Cunha has been United’s first‑choice attacking option ahead of Benjamin Sesko since the season began, yet the side has lost three of its six matches across all competitions this early campaign. His only goal so far came in the Champions League opener against Sabah Baku, and his overall return last season was 10 goals and four assists in 35 games.
The critique highlights the pressure on United’s attack as the team searches for consistency. For supporters, it raises the question of whether to back a high‑priced forward still finding his feet or to demand immediate improvement, especially with the club’s title ambitions already under early pressure.
