Man United suffer major injury scare as Matheus Cunha forced to miss Christmas lights switch on after 'accident in training'

Man United have been dealt an injury concern ahead of their Premier League clash with Everton, after Matheus Cunha was forced to miss a planned appearance to turn on Christmas lights for ‘medical reasons.

Cunha had been due to help turn on Christmas lights in Altrincham on Saturday evening, alongside Sam Aston, winner of 2025’s Dancing on Ice and who stars as Chesney in Coronation Street.

Hours before the event, organisers Visit Altrincham stated that Cunha had been forced to pull out of the event.

‘Unfortunately Matheus Cunha has had an accident in training today and will not be able to attend tonight’s Christmas Lights Switch on in Altrincham due to medical reasons,’ a Visit Altrincham post read. 

‘There’s lots of exciting performances to come including Luzahnn of Livin’ Joy and Sam Aston, winner of Dancing on Ice 2025, who is Chesney in Coronation Street will be switching on the lights.’
