LONDON :Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha has credited the club's resurgence under Ruben Amorim with helping him cement a spot in Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil squad ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Cunha has been a consistent presence in the Brazil set-up since Italian Ancelotti took charge in May, tasked with preparing the record five-time World Cup winners for next year's tournament in North America.

The 26-year-old, who has flourished under United manager Amorim this season, has featured in all four of Ancelotti’s squad selections, thanks in part to his versatility, he believes.

Cunha has seamlessly adapted to playing as a hybrid attacking midfielder and forward, a trait he believes has strengthened his case for World Cup inclusion next year.
