Manchester United star Matheus Cunha answered with just three words when asked by an Arsenal fan if he was planning to join the north London club.
Cunha was one of three forwards United signed for close to £200m in the summer. The former Wolves player’s move was the Red Devils’ first move in the summer and cost £62.5m.
He has only scored once for United so far, but has started to come into his own recently. The goal came in the 4-2 win against Brighton, following a strong performance in the previous game against Liverpool.
Cunha has averaged a 7.2 SofaScore game rating through October, and has averaged a 7.0 per game through two games in November.
The forward has been linked with a number of England’s top teams before joining United, and has recently featured in videos posted by Arsenal fans online.
A fan asked, “Have you ever been to Arsenal?”
Cunha responded with just three words: “No, thank you.”
A fan captioned the video, “Big brother smiling like he’s in the starting lineup.”

Victor Goqueres, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard have all scored multiple goals in the Premier League, with Cunha being on the back foot for the majority of Arsenal’s attacks this season.
The Brazilian has scored once in four games against Arsenal during his career, one of which came this season.

It has been suggested that United target Carlos Baleva has a “similar mindset” to Cunha and fellow attacker Brian Mbeumo.
The Red Devils are looking to sign a new midfielder, given that Casemiro has been inconsistent this season and is out of contract, with Manuel Ugarte and Koby Mainu not providing great replacements in Amorim’s eyes.
Baleva is said to be interested in a move to Old Trafford.
Manager Ben Jacobs said: “Manchester United have strategically positioned themselves as a priority transfer destination for Carlos Baleva and hold a significant advantage as the midfielder is keen to make the move.”
Baleva is of a similar mindset to the likes of Cunha and Mbeumo, with his mind set on a move to Old Trafford rather than sticking to immediate Champions League football like, say, Liam Delap. ”
