Manchester United manager Michael Carrick announced that Matheus Cunha will not participate in the upcoming match against Brentford due to a sore hip flexor sustained after the recent victory over Chelsea. Carrick emphasized that the injury is not serious, but Cunha did not recover in time for the match. The Brazilian forward, who transferred to Manchester United from Wolverhampton Wanderers for £62.5 million last summer, has had a productive season with eight goals and four assists in 30 Premier League appearances. In his absence, Amad Diallo will take his place in the lineup. Additionally, Carrick confirmed that Casemiro will leave the club at the end of the season, prompting Manchester United to target Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United, who is valued at £87 million. Newcastle is reportedly open to selling Tonali if their price is met, as they may lose key players following their failure to qualify for the Champions League.
