Matheus Cunha makes wholesome gesture for local company

Matheus Cunha has continued to make a positive impression on Manchester United supporters following an unexpected incident during his summer break.

The Brazilian officially joined United from Wolverhampton Wanderers last summer in a £62.5 million deal.

He made a strong start to life at Old Trafford, scoring ten Premier League goals during his debut season with the Red Devils.

Those performances earned Cunha a place in Brazil’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

However, his tournament ended in disappointment when Brazil suffered a 2-1 defeat against Norway in the last 16.

Cunha has since spent time back in his homeland before returning to Manchester for the new campaign.

During that break, the 27-year-old found himself stranded after his car broke down in the municipality of Santa Rita.

Fortunately, a nearby local garage was able to help repair the vehicle and replace one of its rear wheels.

Cunha attempted to pay for the work once the repairs had been completed.

However, the mechanic refused to accept any money.

He explained that Cunha had already given him plenty of happiness through his performances on the football pitch.

The Manchester United forward continued offering payment, but the mechanic instead asked him to help promote the business.

Cunha agreed and recorded a video highlighting the garage and the services it provides.

He walked towards the shop, praised the people who had helped him and encouraged viewers to support the local company.

The video quickly attracted attention online, with supporters praising Cunha for taking the time to repay the mechanic’s generosity.

Fans described the forward as a good person and joked that he was providing assists even while on holiday.

The wholesome moment has only strengthened Cunha’s growing connection with United supporters ahead of his second season at Old Trafford.
