Manchester United face Matheus Cunha injury sweat before Liverpool clash
Manchester United are facing an anxious wait over the fitness of forward Matheus Cunha ahead of their crucial Premier League encounter against bitter rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford.
The hosts remain desperately hopeful that the Brazilian attacker will be available for selection following a recent physical setback.
The Red Devils are preparing for one of the most significant fixtures of the domestic calendar as the season enters its defining final month.
Key absentee threatens attacking options
Cunha has established himself as a pivotal figure for the Manchester club, providing a vital attacking focal point.
His potential absence would force a major tactical reshuffle against a formidable Merseyside outfit determined to secure crucial away points.
Liverpool arrive in Manchester fully aware of the historical weight and immense pressure surrounding this traditional North West derby.
Late fitness test expected
Medical staff will be closely monitoring the former Wolverhampton Wanderers star leading right up to Friday’s kick-off.
A final definitive decision on his participation is highly unlikely to be confirmed until the official team sheets are submitted.
Supporters of both historic clubs will be eagerly watching the tunnel to see if the South American makes the final matchday squad.
