REVEALED: Matheus Cunha Feels ‘Privileged’ to Wear Manchester United’s Iconic Number 10 Shirt
Matheus Cunha has officially been handed the legendary number 10 jersey at Manchester United — a decision that has sparked excitement among fans and great pride for the Brazilian forward himself. Cunha described the moment as a “true honor” and a “privilege”, acknowledging the rich history and immense expectations that come with the shirt.
The number 10 jersey at Old Trafford is more than just a number — it symbolizes creativity, leadership, and star quality. It has previously been worn by club legends like Wayne Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Mark Hughes, all of whom left a lasting legacy at the Theatre of Dreams. For Cunha, stepping into that tradition is both inspiring and motivating.
In his statement, Cunha expressed deep respect for the players who came before him and promised to give everything on the pitch to honor the badge and live up to the weight of the number. The 25-year-old added that wearing the shirt fuels his desire to become a key figure in the club’s future under new manager Rúben Amorim.
With a fresh season ahead and expectations running high, Matheus Cunha’s assignment of the number 10 shirt signals the club’s trust in his abilities — and his ambition to deliver moments of magic when it matters most.
