“He is an incredible person. For me, what I value and what I like to speak about with these people is the personal side. Because ultimately, everyone in the world knows what Cunha is: a fantastic player. But he’s also a great person. It’s a pleasure to share the dressing room with him. I knew him from the national team, and he has a lot of happiness, he transmits a lot of joy. It’s important not only on the pitch, but also off it, within the dressing room. Always with a big smile. Always wanting to dance, to joke with the people, but also he knows when to be serious, but it’s important to have people with this attitude in the dressing room.”
Manuel Ugarte: “Well, Matheus is from Brazil. Uruguay and Brazil are very close so we have a good relationship. He’s very extroverted, he’s very funny. And this is important to bring energy to the group. And we are all really happy with him. Always with a smile, always joking, and in the group this is important to have good energy and succeed.”
Harry Maguire: “He’s a unit for his age and I’m sure he’s going to cause a lot of defenders problems. I think he’s still young, we’ve got to remember that as a club and a fanbase, but he has got all of the attributes to contribute to the team and contribute to this club for many years to come. We will give him our full backing and hopefully he scores many goals for us.”
