Mason Mount Vs Matheus Cunha Scout Report At Manchester United 2025/2026 – Player Analysis

Matheus Cunha was one of three marquee signings Manchester United made this past summer.

Alongside Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Šeško, Cunha was brought to Old Trafford in order to completely revamp Ruben Amorim’s forward line.

Thus far, Cunha has perhaps been the least impactful of the three summer signings, though it is very early days.

The Brazil international is yet to score a goal or provide an assist for the Red Devils, while Šeško and Mbeumo have opened their respective Old Trafford accounts.

Cunha was unfortunate to pull up injured in the first half of United’s dramatic 3-2 win over Burnley in late August with a hamstring issue, resulting in the ex-Wolves man playing fewer minutes than his fellow new arrivals in recent weeks.

In addition to Cunha, both Amad Diallo and Mason Mount have occupied the left forward role in Amorim’s front three so far this season, with Mount, in particular, appearing as a direct competitor to Cunha for a place in United’s starting XI, especially following the Englishman’s goal in United’s 2-0 win over Sunderland last weekend.

This has sparked some debate among fans over whether Cunha or Mount should be Amorim’s first choice in that position.

That leads into our Mason Mount vs Matheus Cunha player analysis and scout report.

This piece utilizes data analysis and video analysis to dissect the intricacies of Matheus Cunha’s and Mason Mounts playing styles, highlighting similarities and differences between the two players.

We’ll look at where both men stand out and what qualities Ruben Amorim may be evaluating when choosing between the two left forward options.

Indeed, provided they stay fit for the majority of the campaign, both men are likely to play key roles for the Red Devils this term.

Amorim himself stated, “We need those guys really badly to be really competitive” when both emerged as temporary injury doubts in late August.

Our scout report analyzes what both men bring to the table for Manchester United and how they are critical to Amorim’s plans for 2025/2026.

Our first section of analysis will briefly summarise both players’ key qualities in their respective roles for Manchester United this season, based on their early-season performances.

It’s worth mentioning that, as the season has started with a partially disrupted schedule due to injuries for both men, and since there haven’t been many games played yet, we are working with a fairly small sample size.

As a result, we’ll also consider data from last season to provide further context to the points made in our first section of analysis.

Using data collected from Wyscout, we’ve generated tables to compare the performance of Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount in several key metrics for attack, defence, and passing.

The standout performer in each metric is circled to highlight which player is outperforming the other in each category.
