Manchester United’s Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha had a special reason to smile on Monday evening, and it had nothing to do with football.
The 26-year-old announced the arrival of his second child, a daughter named Liz, sharing the joyful news with fans via Instagram.
Cunha posted a heart-warming series of photos from the hospital, posing alongside his wife, Gabi, and their young son as they welcomed the newest member of their family. The post, bursting with emotion, was captioned: “Hello world, I’m Liz. And we are four now. I am very blessed to have you. Thanks God for everything.”
The timing made the announcement even more poignant, as it came just hours before United’s squad was scheduled to jet off to the United States for their 2025 pre-season tour. Whether Cunha will immediately join the tour remains uncertain, but what’s clear is that family came first on this unforgettable day.
The heartfelt post quickly attracted waves of well-wishes. Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli, Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr., United captain Bruno Fernandes, and even transfer insider Fabrizio Romano were among those sending their congratulations.
United’s official account also joined in, saluting their forward’s special moment with a message of support.
It’s been a whirlwind summer for Cunha. After sealing his £62.5 million move from Wolves to Old Trafford earlier this summer, he made his first appearance in a United shirt during Saturday’s friendly win over Leeds. Now, life off the pitch has given him another milestone to celebrate.
With United bolstering their attack this week by announcing the £71 million capture of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, competition up front is heating up. But for Cunha, the joy of welcoming Liz into the world will surely outshine any headlines, at least for now.
