Matheus Cunha misses Altrincham Christmas lights switch-on after 'accident in training'

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.
 
aww poor Matheus Cunha ๐Ÿค• hope he recovers quickly and can join his teammates soon ๐Ÿ’ช but man that's a bummer for Manchester United's Christmas spirit ๐Ÿ˜” they were really counting on him to bring some festive cheer ๐ŸŽ„ with Everton coming up, this could get interesting... amorim has some tough decisions to make ๐Ÿค let's keep our fingers crossed for cunha and the team ๐Ÿ’•
 
bummer ๐Ÿค• hope matheus cunha recovers soon from that injury ๐Ÿคž think it's gonna be tough for man utd without him on monday ๐Ÿ“š maybe they should start mason mount and see how the game goes? ๐Ÿ˜Š also wondering if cobbie mainoo will get a chance to shine in his premier league debut ๐Ÿ‘€
 
๐Ÿ˜ฌ This injury timing is super unlucky for Manchester United! Cunha was having an amazing season and that goal against Brighton was huge for the club ๐ŸŽฏ. Losing him now could be a big blow, but fingers crossed it's not too serious ๐Ÿ’•. Mason Mount will likely step in, but I hope Amorim has some other tricks up his sleeve ๐Ÿค”. Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee could be the perfect backup options to give them a strong lineup ๐Ÿ‘. The match against Everton is gonna be intense, and United's unbeaten run is on the line ๐Ÿ”ด๐Ÿ’ช!
 
๐Ÿ˜Š Aw, I feel bad for Matheus Cunha! ๐Ÿค• Hope he recovers soon and can make it back on the pitch for Manchester United ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ. This could be an opportunity for Mason Mount to shine even more, maybe even score a goal against Everton ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ”ด๏ธ. And who knows, maybe Kobbie Mainoo or Joshua Zirkzee will come in and surprise everyone with their skills ๐Ÿ˜ฎ. Fingers crossed for Manchester United and Cunha's speedy recovery ๐Ÿ’•! ๐Ÿ‘
 
awww man Cunha's injury is so disappointing! ๐Ÿค• he was really contributing well to Manchester United and now this ๐Ÿ™„ i hope it's not too serious tho maybe 2 weeks of rest will do him good ๐Ÿ’ช still gotta wonder how Ruben Amorim will manage the lineup without him, Mason Mount might be a decent replacement but we need Cunha back ASAP! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
 
๐Ÿ˜ so this Matheus Cunha guy gets hurt in training and now he's out of the Christmas lights switch-on event? that's kinda sad ๐ŸŽ„ I mean, I know accidents can happen, but still... it's two days before a big match against Everton too ๐Ÿ˜ฌ what if the injury is bad though? does that really affect his chances of playing on Monday? ๐Ÿค” should Manchester United be playing with one less player, or do they have some other tricks up their sleeve like maybe using those other players who are gonna make their Premier League debut ๐Ÿ“ˆ?
 
so this is wild... matheus cunha gets injured in training and now he's pulling out of this event ๐Ÿค•. i feel bad for the guy because altrincham christmas lights switch-on event is supposed to be super fun and it's only two days before his match against everton at old Trafford. but on the other hand, injuries can be really serious so hopefully it's not too bad ๐Ÿ˜ฌ.

the thing is, manchester united has been doing pretty well this season and cunha has been a key player for them. now with him possibly out, they'll have to figure out who to play up front against everton ๐Ÿค”. mason mount could be the one to step in, but what about kobbie mainoo or joshua zirkzee? they're both young players and this could be their chance to shine โšฝ๏ธ.

i'm curious to see how ruben amorim lines up without cunha. does he stick with the current formation or try something new? one thing's for sure, everton is going to come at them hard so united will need all hands on deck ๐Ÿ‘Š.
 
Ugh, great, another high-profile injury ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ... I mean, accidents happen, but you'd think they'd have better training facilities at Manchester United's stadium ๐ŸŸ๏ธ. So, Matheus Cunha pulls out of the Altrincham Christmas lights switch-on event and now we're left wondering if he'll even be fit enough for their match against Everton on Monday โšฝ๏ธ. It just goes to show that these injuries can happen anytime, anywhere... always a setback for the team ๐Ÿค”. I guess Mason Mount will take his place this time around... but what about those other youngsters, Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee? Will they be able to step up their game? Only time will tell ๐Ÿ˜’.
 
Aww man... can't believe it ๐Ÿ˜ž. Matheus Cunha's injury is gonna be a tough blow for Manchester United. That kid was on fire this season, and now he might miss the big match against Everton. Fingers crossed he'll be back to full strength by then though ๐Ÿ’จ.

I think Ruben Amorim has some decent options at his disposal. Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee could definitely make a difference in the lineup. But you can never really know how these things will play out until game day ๐Ÿค”. Hopefully Cunha's not out for too long, but if he is, it's good to have some depth in the squad.

The Everton match is gonna be intense, though ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. United's unbeaten run is on the line, and they'll need all hands on deck to take down the Toffees. Here's hoping Cunha's injury isn't too serious, and he can get back out there and cause some more damage for his team ๐Ÿ’ฅ.
 
Omg u guys ๐Ÿ˜ณ Manchester United is gonna have to scramble 2 find a replacement 4 Matheus Cunha! I think they should give Kobbie Mainoo another chance, he's been looking pretty promising lately ๐Ÿคž but yeah, this injury news is super last minute. Hopefully it's not too serious tho ๐Ÿ’• and he'll be back on the pitch soon. Mason Mount will prob do well in his place, but I'd love 2 see some creative flair from the young lad Joshua Zirkzee ๐ŸŽ‰. Can't wait 4 Monday's match against Everton, this one's gonna be intense! ๐Ÿ”ฅ
