MU players, including rookies like Diego Leon, Matheus Cunha, had a military meeting in Carrington to prepare for training and preparing for the new season. Besides, the Red Devils homepage confirmed important information when Cunha received the number 10 since the season 2025/26.
MaHeus Cuha was MU's first rookie in this summer transfer window. The Brazilian striker docked Old Trafford for £ 62.5 million from Wolves. He is expected to be the main factor in the Red Devils' attack next season.
Recently, the Brazilian player was officially given the number 10 shirt. This shirt has been empty since Marcus Rashford joined Aston Villa on a loan in the winter transfer window 2025. Currently the British striker has returned to Old Trafford but is not in the plan of coach Ruben Amorim so there is no number of shirts in the new season.
On the side of Cuha, he used to wear the number 10 at Wolves last season. The Brazilian star also used this number in Hertha Berlin in the 2020/21 season.
CuHa wore the number 12 shirt at Black Country, number 9 and 19 while at Atletico Madrid. And yet, the Brazilian player also wears other shirts when playing for Sion and RB Leipzig.
Two days ago, the MU players assembled in accordance with the plan on August 7 (local time) to prepare for the new season. The eagerness and excitement were clearly visible on the faces of the players, including 2 rookies Matheus Cuha and Diego Leon.
Due to not being proficient in the road, Cunha and Leon were taken home by the club's staff and brought to Carrington. The remaining players such as Andrre Onana, Amad Diallo, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt or Mason Mount drove themselves to the training ground.
All are fresh, eager and full of confidence. 5 stars absent in the military festival today are Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia.
MU has allowed them to be late until the end of the month to have time to find new stops. In addition, MU also allows Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot to rest more after his teammate in Portugal, Diogo Jota, has just died.
As planned, after nearly 2 weeks of training, MU will play friendly with Leeds and West Ham on July 19 and 27. Ruben Amorim must prepare carefully before a pressure season. The captain of MU hopes that the BLD can bring a few other rookies. The goal that Amorim wants is Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) and Javi Guerra (Valencia).
