  "account": "Brazillian forward Matheus Cunha has fired a defiant message at United's critics following a 1-1 draw against Fulham. Despite a poor start to the season, the Red Devils secured a point at Craven Cottage, with Cunha scoring a deflected goal in the 64th minute to salvage the result. Manager Michael Carrick strongly dismissed claims of a lack of energy in the team, even disagreeing with Cunha who admitted the performance needed improvement. Cunha, however, remained optimistic, stating, \"Yeah, that [something good] will come\" and noting that the team had been written off last season before ultimately finishing third. He emphasized the belief within the squad and expressed confidence in their ability to improve and deliver results earlier in the season. The Brazilian forward also addressed the impact of the international break, stating his eagerness to play the next game and hinting at an exciting month ahead. United's next match is against Tottenham Hotspur on October 10th at Old Trafford.",
