Striker Invests in Prestigious Property

Manchester United’s newest recruit, Matheus Cunha, has made a significant off-field move by acquiring the former home of Red Devils legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The £5 million property, located in the affluent suburb of Hale, spans six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and features premium amenities including a private gym, home cinema, bar, studio, and pool room.

Following in Iconic Footsteps

The Brazilian forward, who joined United in a £62.5 million transfer from Wolverhampton Wanderers last month, will also inherit Ibrahimovic’s iconic No. 10 jersey. The Swedish striker wore the number during his prolific two-year stint at Old Trafford (2016–2018), where he netted 29 goals and secured three trophies, including the Europa League. Cunha’s takeover of the shirt follows Marcus Rashford’s season-long loan move to Barcelona.

Family and Football Ambitions

The 26-year-old aims to settle into his new lifestyle with wife Gabriela and their newborn second child while focusing on replicating Ibrahimovic’s success. Manager Ruben Amorim will deploy Cunha in United’s Premier League opener against Arsenal, where fans hope the striker’s home comforts translate to on-field prowess. Cunha previously showcased his skills during pre-season friendlies, including a debut against Leeds in Stockholm and a tour in the U.S. alongside fellow signings Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko.

Rebuilding United’s Legacy

Amorim’s squad seeks redemption after a disappointing 15th-place league finish and Europa League final defeat last season. The acquisition of Cunha—and his symbolic connection to United’s recent golden era—marks a fresh chapter as the club strives to reclaim its competitive edge.
