Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha has pulled out of the Altrincham Christmas lights switch-on event after suffering an injury in training. The 25-year-old Brazil international was due to attend the festive celebration alongside Coronation Street star Sam Aston, just two days before United host Everton at Old Trafford on Monday.
Organisers Visit Altrincham confirmed on Facebook that Cunha would not be attending "due to medical reasons", adding that the player had an accident in training. Manchester United have yet to publicly confirm any further details or whether this will impact Cunha's availability for the match against Everton.
According to club sources, however, the injury is not believed to be serious and the Brazilian may still be fit enough to feature at Old Trafford on Monday. Cunha has been a key player in United's resurgence this season, scoring his first goal for the club in a 4-2 win over Brighton in October.
The news raises questions about how Manchester United's manager, Ruben Amorim, will line up without Cunha, who is likely to be replaced by Mason Mount. However, Amorim may also consider other options, including Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee, who could make their Premier League debut at Old Trafford. The match against Everton will be a major test for United, with the team looking to extend their unbeaten run in their past five games.
