Rio Ferdinand names established Man United star who will 'lose his shirt number to Matheus Cunha' after £62.5m transfer was confirmed

Rio Ferdinand admitted he fears for the future of one Manchester United player set to lose his shirt number to new signing Matheus Cunha.

United confirmed the £62.5million arrival of Cunha after striking a deal with Wolves and the forward is set to complete his move once he returns from international duty.

The 26-year-old will become Ruben Amorim's first arrival of the summer after United triggered his release clause, and he will sign an initial five-year contract.

Cunha was spotted leaving the Lowry Hotel in Salford with his pregnant partner on Sunday afternoon before joining up with his Brazil team-mates.
