7M - Matheus Cunha Faces Possible FA Ban Over Goal Celebration

Matheus Cunha could face disciplinary action from the Football Association after his winning goal in Manchester United's 3-2 victory at Arsenal, following a celebration that may breach FA rules on offensive language.

The 26-year-old substitute scored a stunning 87th-minute winner at the Emirates and appeared to shout "It's the f*****g biggest!" directly into a pitchside camera. Under FA regulations, using "offensive, insulting or abusive language" can result in a red card—or retrospective punishment if missed by match officials.

Sky Sports has since apologized for broadcasting the moment, acknowledging it could trigger an FA investigation. A similar incident occurred in 2011 when Wayne Rooney received a two-match ban for yelling "What? F*****g what?" into a camera after scoring against West Ham. That suspension caused him to miss a Premier League game versus Fulham and an FA Cup semi-final loss to Manchester City.

Cunha, who also provided the assist for Patrick Dorgu's goal in United's recent 2-1 derby win over Manchester City, came off the bench again to decisive effect. Interim head coach Michael Carrick praised his attitude: "He's been disappointed not to start but used it in a really good way. Two huge moments—he totally deserves that goal."

Carrick, unbeaten in his two matches in charge with back-to-back 3-2 wins over City and Arsenal, declined to comment on his future but emphasized focus: "We're not getting carried away. We've got important games ahead."

United now sit fourth in the Premier League, with fans chanting "We're gonna win the league" at full-time. If Cunha receives a two-game ban like Rooney, he would miss home fixtures against Fulham and Tottenham.

The FA has been contacted for comment.
