Manchester United drew 0-0 with Leeds United on Saturday afternoon as Matheus Cunha made his first appearance since joining from Wolverhampton Wanderers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester United\u2019s pre-season campaign<\/a> is underway after a draw against newly-promoted Leeds United.<\/p>\n

The two sides met in Sweden, but neither could break the deadlock in a Stockholm stalemate.<\/p>\n

United carved out some decent chances, with Chido Obi firing wide in the first half and a goalmouth scramble almost securing the lead after the break.<\/p>\n

Goals remain United\u2019s biggest concern as Bryan Mbeumo nears a move to Old Trafford<\/a>, but we did see a first glimpse of Matheus Cunha<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Cunha joined United from Wolverhampton Wanderers<\/a> earlier this summer, and fans have been desperate to see him in action.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian featured as a number 10 for United against Leeds, supporting Chido Obi in the final third.<\/p>\n

Cunha showed his frustration as the teenager took a chance away from him inside the box.<\/p>\n

This was only a 45-minute outing for Cunha, but he showed enough sharpness in the final third to suggest that he can become a key player for Amorim.<\/p>\n

Cunha has now taken to his Instagram Story<\/a> to post his reaction from Saturday\u2019s display, sharing a seven-word message with United supporters.<\/p>\n

\u2018What a feeling to wear this shirt,\u2019 said Cunha, accompanied by a photo of himself in the new United away shirt.<\/p>\n

That may have been Cunha\u2019s first appearance in a United shirt, but it certainly won\u2019t be his last with a big season on the horizon.<\/p>\n

Matheus Cunha\u2019s next appearances for Manchester United<\/strong><\/p>\n

United\u2019s pre-season schedule continues<\/a> next weekend, but Amorim\u2019s squad move on from Sweden to the United States.<\/p>\n

Cunha will be in action as United take on West Ham United at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey in the early hours of Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

United then move on to Soldier Field in Chicago, taking on Bournemouth on July 30 before a meeting with Everton on August 3 in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Cunha\u2019s first four United appearances will come against Premier League rivals before the pre-season schedule ends at home to Fiorentina on August 9.<\/p>\n

Cunha would love a first goal in United colours before the Premier League season starts, and it\u2019s clear that this move means a lot to him, having relished the chance to play in Saturday\u2019s friendly.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
