Have Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo played in Man United's pre-season friendlies?
Man United officially completed a £62.5m move for Matheus Cunha on July 12, with the Brazil international making the switch to Old Trafford from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The attacker, who has been handed the number 10 shirt by Man United, made his debut for the club in the goalless draw against Leeds, playing the opening 45 minutes of the contest.
The Brazilian was also in the starting side against West Ham, but Bryan Mbeumo was not involved against the Hammers or Bournemouth, with the attacker given longer to settle in, having only completed a £71m move from Brentford.
Mbeumo's debut came against Everton, with the new number 19 showing early glimpses of combining well with the likes of Fernandes, Amad Diallo and Cunha in his first 45 minutes in a Man United shirt.
Cunha also returned to the team to feature for the opening 72 minutes of the encounter, and despite failing to contribute a goal or assist, the Brazilian is clearly growing into his team, with a number of promising plays with fellow attacking teammates.
As well as Cunha, Man United had another debutant against Leeds, with 18-year-old Diego Leon making an excellent impression following his arrival over the summer.
"We have to understand that the kid (Leon) came from Paraguay and it's his second week in Manchester United. He did really well, he's learning things, he's powerful. He's going to be a very good player," said Amorim when asked about Leon's performance against the Whites.
Cunha completed his first 90 minutes in their final match against Fiorentina, while Mbeumo was given 74 minutes and Leon was left on the bench.
The 20-time English champions could also sign a new goalkeeper and central midfielder before the transfer window closes, with Carlos Baleba heavily linked to the Red Devils.
