Man Utd news: Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Alejandro Garnacho comparison

Is Matheus Cunha a better player than Alejandro Garnacho?

BBC Radio Manchester’s Gaz Drinkwater believes so, urging Manchester United to cash in on Garnacho in order to make room for new summer signings.

Speaking on The Devils’ Advocate podcast, he said: “Garnacho came on in the Europa League final and did nothing. As Amorim said, that’s all in the past now.

“Matheus Cunha is done, and will be a very exciting signing.

“Cunha is a better footballer than Garnacho, and so is Bryan Mbeumo. You’re talking about 40-odd Premier League goals between those two.

“They’re better footballers. Sign them, bring them in.”

In 33 Premier League appearances, Cunha registered 15 goals and a further six assists. Meanwhile, Brentford’s Mbeumo notched 20 goals from 38 league appearances, assisting another eight.

In comparison, Garnacho managed just six goals and two assists from 36 Premier League games.
