Manchester United fans have been reacting on social media after watching a compilation of Matheus Cunha's performance against West Ham.
Ruben Amorim's men maintained their unbeaten start to their pre-season fixtures by recording a 2-1 win over West Ham at the MetLife Stadium in New York City.
Captain Bruno Fernandes scored a brace before Hammers star Jarrod Bowen reduced the deficit.
Overall, United produced a much better performance than they managed during their 0-0 draw against Leeds earlier in the month.

Summer signing Cunha, who joined from Wolverhampton Wanderers for a reported fee of £62.5 million, was again named in the starting XI.
During what was a 66 minute cameo, the Brazilian showed glimpses of what he is capable of as he produced some neat touches to combine with his United teammates.
After the match, a five-minute video of Cunha's highlights went viral on social media.
One fan said: "We have a player in our hands."
Another tweeted: "He's actually an upgrade over Garnacho."
A third fan added: "He seems to be the only one trying to make things happen."
Someone else wrote: "Player of the season incoming, fantastic player."
A fifth commented: "He’s brilliant. Huge upgrade."
Speaking after the match, United boss Amorim also spoke about Cunha's performance.
The Portuguese said: "Matheus Cunha is that kind of player that can help us, he can help us a lot because he can run with the ball and that is something that can change the game. We missed that last year.
"I'm not going to talk about the second team because it's really hard for 11 [10] players to go to the pitch, you know, a lot of young kids. But I really like the team. Of course, you have to look at the game and you have to improve things."
United are back in Premier League Summer Series action next week when they take on Bournemouth the Soldier Field in Chicago.
