Cunha explains the reason for the move to Manchester United, hinting that he will wear the number 10 shirt! The trough remains attractive for the Red Devils

The contents of United's first public interview after signing Cunha for the first time in the summer window were also released, with Mr £62.5 million confirming that he has supported the Red Devils since childhood. The 26-year-old Brazilian striker said: "It's a cliché at times like these, but it's a dream come true to join Manchester United.

Cunha grew up in the Brazilian coastal city of João Pessoa, and it wasn't easy for him to watch Manchester United play as a child. "It's hard for me to find a way to explain the club." "When I was a kid, I didn't have a channel to watch the Premier League, my cousin didn't have one, he was older than me, he was a Manchester United fan, and he was the one who started watching Premier League games and supported Manchester United. Only my grandmother's house can see the Premier League, so we organise everyone to go together every weekend."

The Brazilian phenom has always dreamed of playing at the Theatre of Dreams: "Manchester United has always been a part of my heart. When my cousin and I played on the streets, on the beach and on the sand, we called these venues 'Old Trafford'. Imagine that! So, it's not easy to be here today, and I can say that I'm very excited when I look back on the past."

Cunha added: "From the outside, it may seem strange to join Manchester United now. But when you always dream of playing for Manchester United, it's easier to make that decision. For me, there's no one like Manchester United, you know? I know it's been a tough season for everybody, but when it comes to coming here, I think my decision shows what the club means to me and what I believe United will become. I'm going to do everything I can to manage my heart and play for my dream team."

Coach Amorim, who speaks the same language as himself, is also an important reason for Cunha to join. 'Yes, apart from everything I said about the club, I've always followed Manchester United, it's my dream club, everything is like that, but I think it was also very important that Ruben [Amorim] brought me here." "I really believe in him and in everything he does in Portugal. As I said, I hope he can conquer the world like he did in the Portuguese Super League. Of course, I think he needs a player like me who can do anything to help him and help the team. All our communication made my decision even more important. With Carlo [Carlo Ancelotti] in the national team, Ruben here, and having a coach who can guide you on the right path makes it easier for you and I'm excited."

Cunha has vowed that he will help United return to the top, but not on his own. 'I don't think any player can come to Manchester United without reminiscing about those glorious days, remembering the times when United always won the Premier League. Of course, the realistic goal now is to qualify for the Champions League and get the club back into the top team, and I will do everything I can to help the team conquer those achievements. I think my life is improving, I'm more mature. I also learn from my mistakes and now it's time for the harvest and I went to the national team and then came here and it was the perfect moment."

Having played in Switzerland, Germany and Spain, and having been in the Premier League for many years, Cunha says he is not afraid of the pressure and attention of Manchester United. "Honestly, I'm completely used to it. I'm happy to play for the biggest national team in the world and there's a lot of pressure on Brazil, so I've learned a lot. In the beginning, I remember it was a bit difficult. Sometimes I don't handle it well, but I learned my lesson. I don't think that's a mistake, that's a normal process, part of learning. Now at Manchester United, I think it's the best moment of my life and I'm relaxed about everything."

Cunha is likely to wear United's number 10 shirt and has hinted that he could succeed Marcus Rashford. 'When I came to the Premier League, Marcus Rashford scored a lot of goals and I remember swapping shirts with him. Cunha said his other Manchester United icon, Wayne Rooney, is also the team's number 10.

Born in 1999, Cunha watched the game at the time of Manchester United's heyday, which won the Premier League and Champions League double in 2008. "I remember when I first started watching the full squad at Manchester United, I especially liked Wayne Rooney up front! I think I have a lot of characteristics like him in the game, for example, I'm always giving it my all. He was a number 10 and everybody liked a number 10 and the number 10 players were great, but he always brought more. He's got the ball all over the pitch and his energy is one of his strengths."

Cunha continued: "I can also mention a lot of players, everyone will say Cristiano Ronaldo and it's easy to talk about him. And so is Giggs. All of them! I can remember the whole line-up: goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, defenders Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, midfielders Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick...... For me, this team had a big impact on my teenage years."
