BREAKING: Man Utd suffer huge Matheus Cunha injury blow as Ruben Amorim caught off guard

Manchester United were handed a bitter injury blow during Saturday's Premier League clash with Burnley as Matheus Cunha went off with an apparent hamstring injury. The £62.5million Brazilian lasted just under half an hour of the clash at Old Trafford.

Just seconds after United took the lead against the newly-promoted Clarets, Cunha felt a problem. He went straight down the tunnel, and wasn't even treated by the physio before departing.

His exit appeared to catch United boss Ruben Amorim off guard, as the home side didn't have a substitute ready to replace the former Wolves forward. Eventually, Joshua Zirkzee entered the fray.
