Manchester United’s new signing Matheus Cunha has been handed the club’s iconic No. 10 shirt ahead of the 2025/26 season, following his £62.5 million move from Wolves last month.
The decision marks a significant shift at Old Trafford, with Marcus Rashford, who had worn the No. 10 since 2018, no longer in possession of the famous number.
Matheus Cunha’s arrival signals a bold new chapter for manager Ruben Amorim, who is looking to reshape the squad following a turbulent campaign.
The Brazilian forward is expected to play a central role in United’s attacking plans, and the prestigious No. 10 shirt is a clear vote of confidence from the club.
United begin preseason training on Monday, with Amorim and the squad scheduled to travel to the United States for a three-match tour on July 22 in Chicago. Cunha is expected to lead the line during the tour as United prepare for a crucial campaign under their new manager.
As one era potentially draws to a close, a new one begins, with Matheus Cunha set to wear the No. 10 and take centre stage at Old Trafford.
Rashford, 27, has not featured for United since December and spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he made 17 appearances, scoring four goals and providing six assists.
Despite Villa having the option to sign him permanently for £40 million, the Midlands club declined to activate the clause.
