Manchester United said on 4 July that summer signing Matheus Cunha will wear the club’s No. 10 shirt when the 2025-26 season begins, taking over a number previously held by Marcus Rashford. The decision was communicated to Rashford’s representatives before the public announcement. Cunha, 26, joined United from Wolverhampton Wanderers last month in a deal worth about £62.5 million and has agreed a five-year contract. The Brazilian forward becomes the latest in a prominent line of United No. 10s that includes Wayne Rooney and Bobby Charlton. Reassignment of the shirt intensifies speculation that Rashford, 27, will leave Old Trafford this summer. The England international, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, is understood to favour a move to FC Barcelona, though no agreement has been reached. United are expected to listen to offers as manager Rúben Amorim reshapes the squad.
