Matheus Cunha Wins Hearts with Touching Salute to Young Kenyan Manchester United Fans

Matheus Cunha has officially cemented his status as a fan favourite following his lovely gesture towards Kenyan Manchester United fans.

The Brazilian star recently took to social media to share some major love for a group of young Kenyan Manchester United fans, proving that the beautiful game truly has no borders.

The heartwarming connection began when Elly Mtesi, a Kenyan teacher, posted a video of his pupils on TikTok. In the clip, the classroom is transformed into a mini-stadium as the children sing a spirited, rhythmic rendition of ‘Glory, Glory Man United.’

Their synchronised clapping and pure, unadulterated joy caught the attention of the world’s premier football insider, Fabrizio Romano.

Once Fabrizio Romano shared the video with his millions of followers, it did not take long for the clip to reach the very players the children were singing about.

Among the many stars moved by the footage, Matheus Cunha stood out. The Manchester United forward responded to the video by sharing it with a series of affectionate emojis, including the Kenyan flag, dancing figures, and heart-eyes.

By acknowledging the teacher and his students, Cunha turned a viral moment into a life-changing memory for a classroom thousands of miles away from Old Trafford.

The gesture sent waves of excitement through the Kenyan Manchester United fan base, who celebrated the fact that their passion was being recognised at the highest level of the sport.

Manchester United has undergone a total transformation since Ruben Amorim was sacked in early January, winning three consecutive Premier League games to storm back into the top four.

Michael Carrick’s first game in charge set the tone as Manchester United dismantled Manchester City with a commanding 2-0 victory at Old Trafford.

They followed that up with a thrilling 3-2 win away at Arsenal. The winning streak was then extended dramatically with a 3-2 victory against Fulham, sealed by a 94th-minute winner from Benjamin Sesko.

In just these three matches, the squad has already scored eight goals, looking far more lethal than they did during the final months of the previous era.

This run of form marks the first time since early 2024 that Manchester United has managed three straight league wins, completely shifting the mood around the club.
