EPL: ‘Your Ego Is Up There, But You’re Doing Nothing’ – Agbonlahor Slams Man United Star

Former Aston Villa captain Gabriel Agbonlahor has criticized Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha over his attacking performance so far this season.

Agbonlahor questioned why supporters have focused heavily on Marcus Rashford’s performances while paying less attention to Cunha’s lack of goals for the Red Devils.

Cunha has started the 2026-27 Premier League season as Manchester United’s first-choice attacking option ahead of Benjamin Sesko, but he is yet to score in four league appearances.

“Why aren’t they singled out? Cunha, Manchester United fans, and football fans always look at what Marcus Rashford is doing. Oh, he hasn’t scored yet,” Agbonlahor said via talkSPORT.

He added, “Cunha: one assist, zero goals in four games. I’m looking at him like your ego is up there, but you aren’t really doing it.”

Cunha has scored once this season, finding the net against Sabah Baku in Manchester United’s opening Champions League fixture. His overall contribution has come under scrutiny as United have suffered three defeats in six matches across all competitions.
