Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha has been spotted leaving Old Trafford walking freely – despite being forced off in the first half of their 3-2 win over Burnley on Saturday.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Reds<\/a> earned their first win of the season against the newly-promoted side, owing to Bruno Fernandes’ injury-time winner. Ruben Amorim’s men were twice pegged back by the Clarets after an own goal from Josh Cullen and Bryan Mbeumo.<\/p>\n

However, in the first half, Cunha was forced off with what appeared to be a hamstring injury in the 31st minute.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian was replaced by Joshua Zirkzee before heading straight down the tunnel.<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking after the final whistle, Amorim admitted his concern at the forward’s injury. “It was hard to lose a player like Cunha and Mason Mount – Mount played like 30 minutes with an injury,” the United head coach said.<\/p>\n

Asked if they were long-term issues, he replied: “I don’t know, I don’t know but I’m concerned about that. They are so important for us, so we’ll see.”<\/p>\n

In the aftermath of the game, Cunha was spotted walking outside of Old Trafford<\/a> freely.<\/p>\n

A video surfaced online of the forward looking fine and smiling to fans as he made his way out of the car park.<\/p>\n

Cunha has, meanwhile, been named in Brazil’s World Cup qualifiers next month by Carlo Ancelotti. The five-time world champions take on Chile on September 5, before facing Bolivia five days later.<\/p>\n

United will be hoping that Cunha is okay to face Manchester City<\/a> in two weeks’ time.<\/p>\n
