Not in team training Thursday
Cunha (groin) was on a recovery day Thursday as he continued to work to regain full fitness, the club reported.
Analysis: Cunha's availability for Monday's clash against Brentford remains in doubt as he looks to overcome a groin discomfort he suffered during the previous game versus Chelsea. He's a key piece of the Red Devils' attacking unit, so he'll likely start if he avoids a major injury. Otherwise, Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo could be involved on the wings. Prior to this issue, the Brazilian scored twice over his last four matches played.
Could return after groin discomfort
Cunha left the weekend's match against Chelsea due to a groin issue, but the team is hoping to have available for the upcoming meeting with Brentford, Rob Dawson of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Cunha scored the winning goal before being forced to leave the pitch last Saturday, and he would likely remain one of the team's top attacking options if fully healthy. The forward has taken multiple shots in six consecutive league games, notching two goals during that period. However, if the fitness issue prevents him from seeing his usual action, Amad Diallo and Joshua Zirkzee would be viable alternatives.
