The 26‑year‑old Brazilian had missed United’s last two league games — a home defeat to Everton and a win at Crystal Palace — after sustaining a knock in training. Manager Ruben Amorim had previously indicated his expectation that Cunha would be available for the West Ham game, and the club’s latest update confirms those plans.
In his first few months at Old Trafford following a summer move from Wolverhampton Wanderers for £62.5 million, Cunha has found game time — making 11 appearances this season (9 starts) — but has struggled to replicate his previous form, scoring only one league goal so far.
Still, Amorim remains supportive. He recently acknowledged that Cunha “has more levels to go,” urging the forward to grow both offensively and defensively, and warning against letting social‑media criticism affect his confidence.
Cunha — who posted “Back, back, back” on social media alongside a photo of himself in full training gear — now has the chance to re‑assert his value to the team in what could be a key fixture for United as they eye a strong run heading into the closing months of the year.
