Manchester United’s Cunha Praises Team’s Resilience After Narrow Victory at Arsenal.

Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha has praised Arsenal as the best team in the world, despite Manchester United’s narrow 3-2 victory over the Premier League leaders at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. The match was highly competitive, with both teams showcasing attacking football in an exciting encounter.

Arsenal started strongly and took an early lead through an own goal by Lisandro Martinez. However, Manchester United responded quickly, with Bryan Mbeumo scoring to level the score before halftime. The second half saw Arsenal regain the lead in the 84th minute when Mikel Merino headed in from a corner, canceling out Patrick Dorgu’s impressive goal.

Despite Arsenal appearing to have the upper hand late in the game, Manchester United pushed forward and secured a memorable victory. Cunha scored the decisive goal with a beautifully curled shot, giving United their first win at the Emirates in recent times. The result narrowed Arsenal’s lead at the top of the Premier League to just four points, while Manchester United moved into the Champions League qualification spots, overtaking both Liverpool and Chelsea.

Cunha expressed pride in his team’s resilience and fight, stating, “We defeated the best team in the world. I think we displayed strength and determination as a team. We know what to expect, come here, I really think this is the best team in the world right now. They’ve played with Mikel [Arteta] for a long time, so they know all his tactics and everything he feels. We know how tough it will be to come here, but we are united and everything we do is to win the games.”

He also praised caretaker manager Michael Carrick’s impact, noting, “He understands the feeling because he played here for many years.” The victory highlights United’s resilience and growing confidence under Carrick’s leadership.
