According to Manchester Evening News, Manchester United FC fans will be pleased that Carlo Ancelotti has not called up Kunã to the Brazil squad for the upcoming tour. The 27-year-old striker has been in exceptional form at Old Trafford since his move from Wolves for £62.5 million over 12 months ago.

In the 2024/25 season, Kunã has scored 10 goals and provided 4 assists in the Premier League alone, helping the Red Devils secure third place in the league and qualification for the Champions League. He has continued his strong form this season, with 2 assists in Manchester United FC's first 3 games.

However, Ancelotti apparently did not see enough from the striker and opted not to select him for Brazil's squad for the Queensland Football Series in Australia later this month. Pedro, Estêvão, and Vinícius Júnior will depart the Premier League this week to represent their country, while Kunã will remain in Greater Manchester.

Ancelotti spoke about Brazil's upcoming tour: "We are very excited to go there because there are many Brazil fans in Australia. We will play against strong national teams. Australia performed very well in the World Cup, so we are looking forward to going there and showing our supporters what we can do."

Although Kunã participated in the Copa América with Ancelotti over the summer and was a key member of the Italian coach's first-team squad, scoring 3 goals in 5 games, Ancelotti appears to have changed his mind about the Manchester United FC player.

However, while Manchester United FC fans may be disappointed not to see their star player on the world stage later this month, they may be pleased with Kunã's omission from the international squad.

This means Kunã, who can also play as an attacking midfielder, will not risk injury or fatigue, as Manchester United FC approaches one of the most important seasons in recent years.

Manchester United FC hopes to keep its key players as fit as possible while competing in the Premier League, domestic cup competitions, and the Champions League, starting with an away match against Al Shabab on Thursday evening.

This is especially true as several key players remain unavailable through injury. Some are dealing with minor knocks while others face longer-term issues.

Baleba remains unavailable due to an ankle injury sustained during the summer and has not featured for the Red Devils since joining from Brighton.

However, the Cameroonian midfielder is not far from a return and could be included in the squad for the Carabao Cup match against his former club on Wednesday, 16 October.

Ahmet has not featured in the first-team squad throughout the season after picking up an injury during pre-season. De Ligt, Heaton, and Ugarte are also unavailable for the match against Al Shabab.
