What happened: Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha posted 'We're back, baby!' on social media following his return to the starting XI. The message, amplified by Fabrizio Romano, came in the wake of Cunha's return to the Manchester United starting XI for the Liverpool clash. Reactions across social media echoed the celebratory tone from the Brazilian.

Why it matters: The post lands as United show signs of momentum under Carrick, with Kobbie Mainoo also publicly rallying behind the project. Cunha's return to the XI for a fixture against Liverpool is significant for a side that has spent much of the season searching for attacking consistency. The 'We're back' framing reflects a wider mood shift around the squad rather than a tactical announcement.

What to watch: Watch whether Cunha holds his starting role through the closing weeks of the Premier League season. Follow-up reaction from Carrick and the dressing room will signal how durable this revival is.
