Erik ten Hag's side are crying out for attacking reinforcements, having started the season woefully. The Red Devils are yet to score a legitimate goal this season; their only goal so far was an own goal by Alexis Mac Allister's in the 2-1 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion in their Premier League opener. They not only lost to Brighton, but were also thrashed 4-0 by Brentford this past weekend. Ten Hag stressed the importance of his side securing new signings before the end of the transfer window. Only three signings have arrived so far this summer in Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen and Tyrell Malacia. Atlético de Madrid@AtletiEnamorado del Atleti 3952310Enamorado del Atleti https://t.co/kcOEtqeRGx Cunha joined Atleti from Hertha Berlin last summer for £23.4 million but has played second fiddle to the likes of Joao Felix and Antonio Griezmann since arriving. He made 38 appearances last season, scoring seven goals and contributing eight assists. If Cunha ends up making the move to Old Trafford, he would be a much-needed boost to United's frontline that has yet to get going this season under Ten Hag. The Brazilian boasts speed, agility and goalscoring nous that will be of huge benefit to the Red Devils. Manchester United need a new forward signing Cunha is the right profile of signing for United Question marks still remain over the future of Manchester United's star man Cristiano Ronaldo, who has reportedly asked the club to allow him to leave if a suitable offer comes in. The Portuguese star started for the Red Devils in the heavy defeat to Brentford but cut a frustrated figure throughout. Meanwhile, the likes of Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho have failed to impress thus far this season. Despite promising pre-season performances, they have been unable to grab a goal or an assist. This leaves Ten Hag scratching his head as to how he can improve his attack at Old Trafford, with Anthony Martial still nursing an injury.

Cunha would be a clever signing for Manchester United given that he is still young and developing into a top talent. From the player's perspective, he will likely want more game time given that the 2022 FIFA World Cup is on the horizon. If he does arrive at Manchester United and lives up to the hype that saw him make the big move to Atletico last summer, he may break into Tite's Brazil squad.
