According to the team's management, Cunha was told that he would be given the number 10 jersey during their negotiations. Currently, Marcus Rashford holds this number, but the team plans to reassign it to Cunha. Rashford, who is on loan with Aston Villa, is expected to leave the team due to the club's decision to sell him.

Cunha has had a successful season with Wolverhampton Wanderers, scoring 15 goals and providing six assists. His performance has likely contributed to Manchester United's decision to sign him.
