The 26-year-old became the Red Devils’ first signing of the off-season when completing a £62.5million switch from Wolves in June.

Cunha has impressed in his early months at Old Trafford but has only scored once in 11 appearances, compared to the 15 Premier League goals and six assists he provided last term.

The Brazil international had missed two matches after sustaining a knock in training but returned at home to West Ham on Thursday.

“I think he has more levels to go,” Amorim said. “He is in a different club, different pressure, but I think he copes with that really well.
