WHAT HAPPENED?
During an exclusive interview with GOAL at Soccer Aid, former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere was asked who he would start, bench and sell between Man Utd's new £62.5m ($85m) striker Cunha, Manchester City's latest signing Rayan Cherki, and Florian Wirtz, who is set to complete a British record transfer to Liverpool. Wilshere said he would sell Cunha without hesitation before choosing Cherki for the bench and Wirtz as a starter, claiming the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder would bring the most "energy" of the three right from the off.

Cunha will be out to prove Wilshere wrong after he joins up with his new United team-mates for pre-season next month. The Brazilian has been billed as a "Cantona-esque" signing by United CEO Omar Berrada after registering 15 goals and six assists across 33 Premier League appearances in his final season at Wolves.
