Matheus Cunha will be perfect for Man Utd and Bruno Fernandes – but only if Ruben Amorim makes crucial signing
IT is safe to say that Manchester United failed to live up to their supporters’ expectations.
They finished in 15th place, well behind the European qualification spots, on just 42 points, and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham to leave them trophyless.
The club have backed new boss Ruben Amorim despite the historically bad results.
That backing does appear to have extended to the transfer market as well.
Brazil star Matheus Cunha is already confirmed to be on board at Old Trafford in a £62.5million arrival from Wolves.
Meanwhile, club captain Bruno Fernandes has opted to stay despite a mega £700,000-a-week offer to join Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal.
How exactly Cunha will be used by Man Utd still remains to be seen.
He has played as a striker at points for Wolves but he is not the type to make regular runs behind the defensive line, preferring to drop deeper in order to receive and link play.
That means he is arguably more effective in behind a main striker, which could create an overlap of profiles with the likes of Fernandes.
Below we break down the tactical fit of Cunha at Man Utd under Amorim.
BEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK
Intelligent movement around the penalty area
It is interesting to note that towards the end of the season we saw Wolves typically play the same tactical shape as Man Utd did under Amorim.
Their 3-4-2-1 shape saw Cunha used either as a 9 or as one of the two attacking midfielders behind the main striker.
In these positions Cunha’s intelligence and movement in the final third and around the penalty area helped Wolves create a lot of threat.
He is very strong when it comes to finding little pockets of space to drop into and attack around the opposition defensive structure.
The Brazilian is also difficult to deal with defensively because when defending deep opposition players will typically be concentrating on being tight and defending the space between the ball and the goal.
Cunha takes advantage of this with sharp movements to outplay defenders and create shooting opportunities.
We believe Cunha would be able to play in a similar kind of role to Fernandes as both are extremely intelligent in the attacking phase of the game.
This would mean, however, that Man Utd would still need to add a new forward to play ahead of him, assuming they decide Rasmus Hojlund is not the long term solution.
This could be an issue solved in the near future with the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford.
The type of runs Mbeumo makes would be perfect to stretch the length of the pitch and offer passing options or decoys for Cunha to benefit from.
Indeed, the runs Mbeumo makes are extremely close to those of Mohamed Salah at Liverpool and could benefit both Cunha and Fernandes greatly.
With Fernandes being more comfortable as a passer and creator from deeper areas, we should see Cunha acting as the link between the Portugal star and the forward.
Given Fernandes is well known as one of the most aggressive and creative passers in the league he will enjoy having a player like Cunha alongside him to find space in tight areas.
While Cunha is not an out and out striker, his movement and intelligence of positioning around the area will create real threat.
Not just a finisher
Cunha impressed in front of goal last season as he finished with 15 league goals, while he was also able to provide a creative threat for his team
But Cunha has long been seen as more of a creative attacker than a true goalscorer, such as when he was at Hertha Berlin or Atletico Madrid.
The same is true in deeper positions, especially in transition, when Cunha was capable of getting on the ball and play the final line breaking ball to release team-mates.
He was extremely versatile with his positioning as he occupied pockets across the width of the penalty area.
In terms of his on pitch relationship with Fernandes, it will be interesting to see how Cunha interacts with him given their respective preferred creative operating areas.
The 30-year-old is less of a runner and more of a passer which could create disconnects with Cunha due to a lack of vertical runners around him.
With that said, the two should be able to connect deeper with Cunha being the player to make the more aggressive vertical run off the back of that connection.
The issue Man Utd may have is they will essentially have two advanced midfielders without an effective focal point striker to play off of and make the ball stick.
It is all very well for Amorim to add creativity and dangerous passing to their attacking unit.
But they need to ensure that they have the players ahead of the ball that can make the runs to take advantage of those passes.
Decision making and intelligence
Cunha is a player who can become decisive for the Red Devils both in scoring goals and creating chances, and that is down to his supreme intelligence and strong decision making.
This is what makes him such a versatile attacker, and it would therefore be somewhat wasteful to play him as the main striker.
He is far better when allowed to play deeper and underneath a more physical and aggressive striker.
Essentially, Man Utd should be looking to use a striker who can threaten space behind the defensive line.
This should force the opposition defensive line deeper and then we would see Cunha, and Bruno, with more space that they could play in underneath the striker.
The ability of a player to consistently make correct choices in terms of the timing and direction of his runs is something that is hugely underlooked.
Especially given the pace of the modern game and the intensity of the Premier League.
The fact, Cunha always seems to give team-mates what they need at the right time will be hugely beneficial to Man Utd in terms of helping them to unlock opposition teams.
Conclusion
In our opinion signing a player like Cunha off the back of a terrible season will be a real boost for the Red Devils and their fans.
What is critical though, is Cunha is then surrounded with more signings in key areas to give him the support to make the most of his attacking and creative abilities.
Given Man Utd are already looking to add Mbeumo to their ranks, it would suggest an awareness they need to add more options in the attacking third.
It will still be a long summer ahead for Man Utd’s recruitment team.

‘Radical’ new budget ‘supermini’ EV rivalling ‘beast’ Renault & ‘powerful’ Volkswagen is coming to UK in months
A “RADICAL” new budget “supermini” EV, set to rival Renault’s “beast” and Volkswagen’s “powerful” models, is arriving in the UK in just months.”
The Nio Firefly has been confirmed for the European market, with UK sales expected soon.
The Chinese EV offers an impressive 260-mile range and a single rear-mounted 141bhp motor.
The budget electric car is expected to cost around £12,500.
After launching in China, Nio sold 3,680 Firefly models last month, boosting the brand’s overall sales by a whopping 13.1 per cent.
Reports suggest that the Firefly will be available in UK showrooms imminently, according to Autocar.
Qin Lihong, Nio’s president, revealed that it would launch a right-hand-drive variant for the UK by October.
The Chinese car brand is rapidly expanding across Europe, aiming to enter 16 new global markets this year.
It comes after an ultra-ambitious car maker revealed a new budget EV that some claim could rival Tesla.
Little-known Chinese manufacturer Nio is to release a sub-brand called Firefly – which will offer entry-level electric vehicles.
Spy shots have revealed the brand testing a small city-style hatchback, which is tipped to be showcased to the world on December 21 for their so-called Nio Day in Guangzhou, China.
Known for their advanced technology and innovative features, Nio is a relatively new EV startup – established in 2014 and adopting its current name in 2016.
Their first mass-produced car was the ES8, an all-electric SUV, which began sales in June 2018.
Nio also has a family-oriented brand called Onvo, with Onvo L60 the only model currently available for sale under that name.
The new Firefly marque will sit at the bottom of their tier of brands and will focus on small and mid-size EVs.
Automotive outlet CarScoops first revealed the motor back in March, and new photos they obtained revealed it will look like a typical hatchback in size with a short front and rear overhang – resembling the five-door Mini Cooper and BYD Dolphin.
Photos of the Firefly’s interior have also been published by IT Home and CarNewsChina.
Judging by these, it appears it will feature a large central infotainment screen along with a digital instrument cluster – all despite its budget-orientated appeal.
Little else is known about the new hatchback, and it will initially be launched in China before it comes to Europe – although tariff hikes will likely make it pricier than originally planned.
The release of the Firefly could certainly give Tesla something to think about in the future.
Putin warns Trump he ‘will have to respond’ to Ukraine’s daring drone attack in hour-long phone call with president
VLADIMIR Putin has warned Donald Trump he “will have to respond” to Ukraine’s daring drone strike on Russian airfields, the US president revealed.
In a dramatic post on Truth Social, Trump said the Russian tyrant issued the warning during a 75-minute phone call where the pair discussed rising tensions in Ukraine, as well as Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
“It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace,” Trump wrote.
“President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.”
The call, confirmed by the Kremlin, follows Operation Spiderweb — a daring Ukrainian drone blitz that wrecked 41 Russian planes across four strategic airfields, in a coordinated assault likened to WWII’s most audacious missions.
Newly released footage from Ukraine shows drone after drone spiralling down onto Putin’s nuclear bomber fleet, turning the aircraft into flaming wrecks.
In one dramatic clip, a drone hones in on a bomber while another lies burning nearby. In another, a row of bombers blazes along the runway.
Ukraine’s intelligence service, the SBU, deployed 117 kamikaze drones, each with its own pilot, targeting the Olenya, Belaya, Dyagilevo, and Ivanovo-Severny air bases — deep inside Russian territory.
The swarm of drones was launched from shipping containers hidden in plain sight, with Russian lorry drivers unknowingly parking them next to military bases.
As civilians watched in disbelief, the containers cracked open and unleashed the aerial assault.
Ukraine said the cost to the Kremlin could reach $7 billion (£5.4bn), wiping out a major chunk of its long-range aviation fleet, including Tu-95MS and Tu-22M bombers and A-50 spy planes.

‘That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever seen’ people cry as bloke proudly shows off Britney tattoo with VERY awkward error
A BLOKE has left people in stitches after proudly showing off his Britney Spears tattoo with a very awkward error.
The legendary pop artist Britney Spears, 43, has gained worldwide fame thanks to dozens of hits, such as Toxic, Circus, Baby One More Time, as well as some of her iconic phrases.
One such phrase that’s become a favourite for millions of her fans is ”It’s Britney, b**ch”, which kicks off her 2007 track, Gimme More.
And it seems that one man, only known as TikToker @tytanofficial, was so inspired by the tune he decided to dedicate a special inking to the pop princess.
However, the bloke went for a more creative approach – one that was recently shared on social media by fellow TikTok user @essexxink.
Instead of having ”It’s Britney, b***h”’ tattooed on his leg, the ink lover took the opportunity and went for ”It’s Brit(knee), b***c” .
The design starts at the top of his knee with ”It’s Brit”, with the knee serving as ”ney” part – while the rest of it is sitting under the kneecap.
”Look at his tattoo – It’s Brit… b***h,” the woman could be heard saying in the video.
The ink lover then proceeded to explain the logic behind the work, as he was all chuffed with himself and gave the camera a cheeky smile.
‘That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever seen’
But while the man was clearly happy with the tattoo, the clip soon went viral for all the wrong reasons.
Eagle-eyed social media users soon spotted that something was slightly off with the black inking – as they thought he had tattooed it way above his knee.
”Who’s gonna tell him where the knee lives?” one person commented under the video which has racked up over 900k views in just one day.
”but that can’t be his knee it’s too high up,” another was left in hysterics.
”it’s not even on his knee,” someone else couldn’t stop laughing.
”that’s the saddest thing I’ve ever seen,” wrote another viewer.
Which tattoos hurt the most?
Depending on what part of your body you choose to ink, tattoos can range significantly in terms of pain levels.
Some of the most painful areas are those where the skin tends to be thinner or closer to the bone.
Each area has specific factors which contribute to the level of pain.
Ribcage: Thin skin, little muscle, and many nerve endings.
Feet and ankles: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings close to the surface.
Hands and fingers: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings, resulting in increased pain during tattooing. Knuckles can be especially painful.
Spine: Proximity of the spinal cord and nerve endings makes it sensitive. Tattooing directly over the vertebrae can be especially painful.
Knees and elbows: Thin skin and little padding between the skin and the underlying bones.
Armpits and groin: High concentration of nerve endings and lymph nodes.
Neck and throat: Thin and sensitive skin, with many nerve endings and blood vessels close to the surface.

But despite the huge amount of mean comments, there were also plenty of those who were fans of the inking – and some were even keen to get a similar design.
”OMG I AM JEALOUS WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT,” wrote a social media user.
”You need Whit knee Houston on the other leg!” someone else suggested.
”i need this,” chimed in another.

Coronation Street star making a comeback to the show 15 years after being killed off – but WON’T be seen on screen
CORONATION Street star Reece Dinsdale is making an epic comeback to the cobbles – 15 years after he was killed off.
The actor played Gail Platt’s fourth husband Joe McIntyre before he met his demise after he tried to fake his death to claim insurance money.
But before ITV fans get excited, Reece won’t be reprising his role – instead he’s taken a job from behind the camera.
Reece has directed tonight’s and Friday’s episodes.
Taking to his X account, he wrote: “Tonight’s episodes of Coronation Street (and both of Friday’s) are directed by yours truly. Loved every second of making them. Hope you enjoy, too!“
Reece confirmed that the episodes were filmed around six to eight weeks ago.
In the comment section, Reece admitted he “loves” being a director on the show as fans shared their excitement ahead of the installments.
In April, Reece revealed he was making a return to the beloved soap.
He revealed he recently directed four episodes that month.
Reece is no stranger to directing Coronation Street and has made eight episodes since 2022.
He has also directed 42 episodes of Emmerdale since 2020, and helmed episodes of shows such as Pitching In, Moving On, and Secrets and Words.
The actor’s gig behind the camera comes after he was forced to defend his career prospects when he left Emmerdale.
In 2024, Reece announced he would be taking a break from directing the soap following the death of his mother.
He told fans: “Following the death of my Ma (& moving house), at 64 I’ve taken a decision to have some time out from work. Many months in fact. I’ve never done that consciously.
“I’ve stuff lined up down the line, so I know that’s easy for me to say. However, I’m loving every bloody second of it!”
Reece also played villain Paul Ashdale on Emmerdale in 2020 for a two-year stint, before he was killed off.
Meghan won’t take orders from anyone – that’s why her brand’s in chaos & it’s all her own fault, expert slams
ROYAL experts have slammed Meghan Markle, claiming her inability to take orders is behind the chaos surrounding her brand.
The Duchess of Sussex’s brand, As ever, is taking a short break after selling out all its items in just 45 minutes, according to Meghan.
However, experts claim the quick sellout highlights chaos behind the brand, suggesting there weren’t enough products to meet demand.
The Sun’s former Royal Correspondent and author Charles Rae said: “I’m not a businessman, but I would have thought that if you were setting up a new company, you would have enough products on the shelves or whatever is kept to satisfy the demand.”
Shoppers snapped up £10 jam and £22 honey from Meghan’s brand — though it’s unclear how many sold before the products were declared out of stock.
Royal experts believe that the lack of clarity from the brand stems from the Duchess “not wanting to take orders from anyone”.
“My view is that it is mainly, I would say, 90 per cent Megan who’s running,” said Charles.
He added: “Who’s running the show, because this is a woman who does not want to take orders from anybody.”
Royal Correspondent Sarah Hewson agreed and said: “She doesn’t want to let go.
“And I guess, you know, she is putting her name to it. But yes, it has been chaotic.“
The Duchess of Sussex has promised her As Ever goods will be back in stock this month – alongside “a few new things we can’t wait to show you”.
The about-turn came hours after she was heard telling Beyonce’s mother she had decided to “just pause” until completely ready.
Meghan appeared on her own podcast on Tuesday, recorded in May, telling Tina Knowles she feared annoying customers when the first batch of her jam and herbal teas sold out in less than an hour.
She said wanted to wait until it is “completely stable and we have everything we need”.
Meghan has since shared a photo of jam-making preparations including bowls of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and freshly squeezed lemons, on her Instagram stories, writing: “‘June gloom?’ Not over here! Because this month your favourite products are back.”
Her official AsEver account also posted: “To all who’ve been wondering and waiting, thank you!
“Your favorites are returning, plus a few NEW things we can’t wait to show you. Coming this month…get excited!”
The Duchess’s bonus Confessions Of A Female Founder episode with Knowles was recorded on May 5, the day before Prince Archie’s sixth birthday.
Meghan, who celebrated Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday on Wednesday by sharing previously unseen black and white family photographs of herself with her daughter, began selling her As Ever products in April.
The range includes flower sprinkles, which she used liberally during her Netflix lifestyle show, and raspberry spread, a crepe mix, wildflower honey and an assortment of herbal teas.
She renamed her brand from American Riviera Orchard after running into trademark issues.
It comes after Meghan Markle shared heartwarming pictures of her daughter Lilibet to celebrate her fourth birthday.
And Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have reportedly hired Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s lawyer to help protect their reputations as their family feud escalates.
Wills jokes ‘families can be a mixed bag – some of them might not want to see you much’
PRINCE William joked families can be a “mixed bag” when he visited soldiers at an army air field.
The Prince of Wales asked a group if their family are okay and if they see them enough, before quipping: “Some of them might not want to see you that much.
“It’s a mixed bag sometimes.”
This comes as the royal’s feud with Prince Harry continues.
The brothers are said to be barely on speaking terms.
And, the latest blow to their fractured relationship came when the Duke of Sussex dropped some extraordinary bombshells in a BBC interview last month.
He filmed a rare sit-down chat after losing his appeal against the decision to remove his taxpayer-funded security.
Harry described his court loss as a “good old fashioned establishment stitch up” and also took at swipe at William and Kate.
In the scathing attack, the dad-of-two also unleashed a host of new claims including how dad Charles is no longer speaking to him and how he’s “uncovered his worst fears”.
Despite this he said he would “love reconciliation” with the royal family but claimed “it’s in [Charles’] hands.”
Some heads were turned when Harry insisted he had forgiven his family, with experts slamming the Royal for not apologising himself.
The bitter feud between the Duke and his family started when he and Meghan Markle announced on January 8, 2020, that they would be stepping down as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family.
William and Harry have not been in direct communication since the release of Harry’s controversial memoir, Spare, in January 2023.
Their last reported interaction was during the funeral of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022, but conversations were said to be brief.
On The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, Royal author Robert Jobson said: “He’s done so much damage”.
William’s comments about family today came after he observed a combat PT training session.
He visited the Army Air Corps in Wattisham, Suffolk, in his role as colonel-in-chief which he became in May 2024.
He also promised he would take up issues with accommodation which was raised by the soldiers, saying: “It probably hasn’t been looked at for a while.
There will be a big notebook on somebody’s desk.“Whether they listen to me, that’s another matter.”
He arrived yesterday as a passenger in a wildcat helicopter – a key element of AAC’s capabilities – before flying the chopper himself on the way home.
During the trip, he was also shown inside planning and comms tents to learn about their operations.
And he served bacon and sausage baps at an Archers Breakfast, a weekly social event held by 664 Squadron for its personnel and families.
He said as he served the food: “It’s making my mouth water.”
And the ladies serving with him praised his abilities, saying he was “spot on” and “had pace”.
He then spoke with soldiers and their families outside, including Mike and Lorna Pope, parents of Air Trooper Daniel Pope of 664 Squadron who sadly died of cancer in 2016.
The squadron and regiment honour his memory through an annual cross country race and by naming Pope’s Bar after him, which was the venue for meeting the families.
And he spoke with WO2 Matthew Foster and children Archie, six, and Ida, eight. He told the children: “Your dad does a very important job here.”
At the end of the engagement, he presented Staff Sergeant Kenneth Robert Copeland with an award for his exceptional service in West Africa.
He also presented promotions for several soldiers from corporal to sergeant.
A timeline of Prince Harry's family feud
The first hints of friction reportedly came after William was introduced to Meghan when she was staying at Kensington Palace.
Once she’d returned home to Canada, William and Harry sat down for a brother-to-brother chat.
He knew Harry was already head-over-heels for her but it has been claimed he advised him to take it slowly.
The younger prince reportedly didn’t take too kindly to the advice, with one royal source saying he “went mental”.
Then in June 2019 Harry and Meghan officially split off from the charity they shared with William and Kate.
The Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples focus on their own separate charitable endeavours.
Prince William and Prince Harry first established the Royal Foundation in 2009 before Kate joined two years later shortly after their engagement was announced.
The trio would often appear together at events and the Foundation had huge successes with projects like the Invictus Games for injured veterans and the mental health Heads Together campaign.
The Royal Foundation said the decision was made following the conclusion of a review into its structure – but added both couples will continue to work together in the future.
Harry and Meg were living in close proximity to Kate and Wills within the Kensington Palace estate, but they switched to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor before baby Archie was born.
The move further increased rumours of a fallout.
Harry also hinted in his ITV documentary “Harry and Meghan, An African Journey” that he and his brother had grown apart.
In 2021, Harry and Meghan give their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey where Harry accused his dad of cutting him off financially.
Harry then jetted back to UK to join William in unveiling a statue to their mother Princess Diana in the grounds of Kensington Palace. But sources claimed William didn’t want to attend the memorial amid their ongoing rift.
In 2022, just before their grandmother the Queen died, sources claimed Kate acts as a “peacemaker” between the brothers.
Harry claimed his brother “knocked him to the floor” during an argument about Meghan, in his memoir.
In Spare, Harry said William branded Meghan “rude” and “difficult” during a row.
Harry alleged William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor”.
He said he was left with a visible injury to his back following the argument in 2019 at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where he was living at the time.
In January 2024, Harry flew in to be with Charles after the monarch’s shock cancer diagnosis.
Harry flew back to the US the following day – without seeing Wills.

Eerie Roswell crash memo holds key to cracking UFO mystery after ‘FOUR alien bodies found,’ expert insists
A BIZARRE memo about the Roswell UFO crash could unlock secrets and expose the truth about the “flying saucer” mystery.
A prominent ufologist made the startling claim after aliens were rumored as being spotted dead among the wreckage.
The so-called Roswell Incident happened on July 2, 1947, in a remote desert area in New Mexico.
Conspiracy theories and mystery swirling the alleged crash have fascinated UFO watchers for nearly 80 years.
Back in 1947, the 509th Bomb Group – based in Roswell – released a press release claiming a UFO had crashed in the area, and the United States Army Air Forces were in possession of a “flying disk.”
However, confusion ensued after that release was later retracted, and replaced with a statement saying the object was in fact a high altitude weather balloon.
The news alert had initially been issued by 1st Lt. Walter Haut, the public information officer at the base.
Decades later, his daughter, Julie Shuster, was adamant that his original “flying disk” statement had been accurate.
But he had to keep everything “secret.”
A similar view has been expressed by veteran researcher Kevin Randle, a prominent ufologist who is regarded as one of the top experts on the reported crash.
Randle has written multiple books about UFOs and the Roswell story.
He’s adamant that he has “eliminated all possible terrestrial explanations.”
“What we can say with authority is that something fell at Roswell,” he said.
“We have eliminated all the terrestrial explanations.”
The expert, who served in the Air Force and National Guard, said the UFO case could be solved by delving into a historic memo.
The eerie memo can be seen in a black and white photograph sent out on the news wires at the time.
The grainy note appears to say the words “victims of the crash.”
The memo itself can be seen in the old pic being held by Brigadier General Roger Ramey, who at the time of the crash was commanding officer of the 8th Air Force in Roswell.
Ramey is holding the piece of paper slightly turned away from the camera. But, fortunately, some words can now be read using technology.
KEY MEMO
“The Ramey memo could be the key to this whole thing,” Randle said.
“Ramey was holding the memo in his hand when he was photographed with the debris in his office.
“And what’s interesting is we know when the picture was transmitted over the wire, we know who took it and we can see Ramey is holding the document in his hand.
“So we pretty much have the provenance nailed down.
“There are words in the document when you blow it up, that you can read.
“Some people interpret the critical line as saying ‘victims of the wreck.’
“Well, ‘victims of the wreck’ takes it out of the realm of a weather balloon – but it’s kind of an interpretation of what you see.”
Randle has interviewed some 600 people over the past few decades in his search to establish the truth around the mysterious case.
POLITICAL HOAX
He has concluded that the weather balloon story is nothing but a “government hoax” to fob off those intrigued by UFO sightings.
Randle said, “What they’ve said officially is that the Roswell crash was a weather balloon and [radar-type] target from this experiment being conducted in New Mexico.
“What I discovered is that while [the radar-type] targets were a part of the experiments conducted on the east coast, when they got to New Mexico, they didn’t use those targets.
“That kind of points the finger at this being a government hoax to explain away the Roswell case.”
KEPT SECRET
Julie Shuster, Walter Haut’s daughter, told SBS News, a broadcaster based in Australia, that she had many conversations with the former Army PR man about the “flying disk” he wrote about in 1947.
She said before her death in 2015, “People began to talk about Roswell in the late ’70s after several decades of keeping quiet.
“I would ask dad to tell me the whole story, and he told me the same thing he told everybody: ‘I put out the press release’, and nothing else.”
It was not from this Earth, it was something manufactured off this Earth.
It later emerged that Haut had been sworn to secrecy by base commander and close personal friend, Colonel William Blanchard.
But, Haut was unhappy about keeping such a big secret, and prepared a signed affidavit to be opened after his death.
Originally from Chicago, Illinois, he died in Roswell in 2005.
“Basically dad said yes, he did see the bodies, yes he did see the craft and much more than that,” said Shuster.
“At one point I asked him about the size, and he said the craft was about 25 feet in diameter.”
EGG-SHAPED
Thomas Carey, who co-authored a book with Shuster, Witness to Roswell: Unmasking the Government’s Biggest Cover-Up, published in 2007, said his big secret “all came out in his sealed statement after he died.”
Carey added, “The ship which he described was about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, more of an egg-shaped object, and he did see a number of bodies.
“He described them as being the size of children.
“And when asked point blank if what he believed it was that he had seen, without hesitation he’d say, ‘It was not from this Earth, it was something manufactured off this Earth.’”
A retired cop claimed that he saw the remains of dead aliens being lifted with a crane and hauled away.
Former Deputy Sheriff Charles H Forgus of Howard County, Texas, recalled traveling to Roswell to pick up a prisoner with Sheriff Jess Slaughter.
Forgus claimed he saw four alien bodies with big eyes and brownish-colored skin being taken away by military personnel.
