However, club sources have emphatically rejected the notion, stating unequivocally that no such arrangement exists and that the striker remains fully available for selection.\n\nCunha, who joined United in the summer transfer window, has been a key figure in the team's push for a top-four finish. With three games left to play, every point is crucial, and manager Erik ten Hag is unlikely to entertain resting one of his most in-form attackers. The Dutchman has repeatedly stressed the importance of finishing the season strongly, and rotating a player of Cunha's caliber would run counter to that objective.\n\nThe reports suggested that the CBF had intervened to protect Cunha ahead of the World Cup, a common practice among national federations hoping to keep their stars fresh for the global showpiece. Yet United's response makes clear that club priorities come first, especially in a tight race for Champions League qualification. The Red Devils currently sit third, but only four points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham, meaning any slip could be costly.\n\nCunha has scored 12 goals and provided 8 assists in the league this season, making him one of United's most influential players. His work rate and versatility have earned him a starting spot, and Ten Hag has often praised his tactical discipline. To bench him for the run-in would risk disrupting team rhythm and squad morale.\n\nBrazil, meanwhile, will be monitoring the situation closely. The Selecao are among the favorites for the World Cup, and manager Tite had reportedly hoped for a gentler workload for Cunha in the final weeks. However, with the player himself expressing a desire to play every match, United's position is strengthened.\n\nThe club's firm stance signals a shift in power dynamics between clubs and national federations. In previous years, similar requests have occasionally been honored, but the congested calendar and high stakes of league football have made clubs less willing to comply. United's response may set a precedent for other teams facing similar demands.\n\nAs the season reaches its climax, attention now turns to United's remaining fixtures: away at Brighton, home to Fulham, and a final-day trip to Crystal Palace. Cunha is expected to feature prominently in all three, with Ten Hag likely to rely on his energy and creativity to secure the points needed for a top-four finish.\n\nThe situation underscores the delicate balance between club and country obligations. While the World Cup is a once-in-four-year spectacle, the Premier League's intensity demands full commitment from every player until the final whistle. For Manchester United, there is no room for compromise.\n\nBased on reporting from Mirror - Football.","news","Manchester United have emphatically denied reports they agreed to rest Matheus Cunha for the final three Premier League games to protect his World Cup fitness, insisting the striker will play.","326257545712766976","Manchester United","327116317419114497","327054566501650432","Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest","2026-05-05T11:10:57Z","manchester-united-dismiss-reports-of-cunha-rest-agreement-not-happening","Mirror - Football","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mirror.co.uk\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews\u002Fman-utd-emphatically-respond-claims-37112100",[47,42,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68],"326222711569256448","326257551639318528","326257617288564736","326257766752587776","326257810155245568","326257810239131648","326257546291580928","326255037950988288","326257546094448640","326257545830207488","326222712898850816","326222707169431552",[48,43,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81],"Brazil","Mannsdorf-Großenzersdorf","Mantova","Fortaleza EC","Mansfield Town","Notts County","Brighton","Crystal Palace","Tottenham","Fulham","Qatar","Anderlecht","Manchester United Dismiss Reports of Cunha Rest Agreement: 'Not Happening'",[84,113,139,153],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":45,"excerpt":85,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":86,"leagueId":29,"leagueName":30,"matchId":87,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":88,"slug":89,"sourceName":90,"sourceURL":91,"teamId":92,"teamName":93,"teamIds":94,"teamNames":103,"title":112},"Paul Pogba opens up about the emotional toll of his doping ban, the isolation he feels, and his uncertain path back to football after his suspension was reduced to 18 months.","327194092385603585","0","2026-05-06T02:25:04Z","pogba-speaks-out-i-have-nothing-no-calls-no-idea-where-i-m-going-as-he","Fútbol","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mundodeportivo.com\u002Ffutbol\u002Fligue-1\u002F20260505\u002F1004179222\u002Fpogba-no-llamadas-no-se-donde.html","326257539542945792","Juventus",[92,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,47,68,102],"326257539962376192","326222712143876096","326255042854129664","326255043940454400","326257537596788736","326257556026560512","326257590545682432","326222713142120448",[93,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,48,81,111],"Como","Portugal","FC Urartu","Banga","FC Porto","Banfield","Portland Timbers","Canada","Pogba Speaks Out: 'I Have Nothing, No Calls, No Idea Where I’m Going' as He Navigates Comeback",{"awayTeamId":114,"awayTeamName":115,"body":-1,"category":45,"excerpt":116,"homeTeamId":96,"homeTeamName":105,"id":117,"leagueId":29,"leagueName":30,"matchId":118,"matchName":119,"publishedAt":88,"slug":120,"sourceName":90,"sourceURL":121,"teamId":122,"teamName":123,"teamIds":124,"teamNames":131,"title":138},"326222712592666624","Congo DR","Manchester City star Phil Foden is close to signing a new contract until 2030, ending speculation of a summer exit.
