Manchester United are plotting a raid on arch-rivals Liverpool for the services of their attacking sensation Darwin Nunez.
The future of Darwin Nunez has become a big talking point in recent weeks. He has been linked with quite a few top clubs and according to a report from Fichajes, Manchester United are keen on signing the Liverpool striker as they look to reinforce their attack.
The Red Devils seek more firepower in the final third as they look to bounce back in the second half of the season. While Ruben Amorim didn’t have the best of starts at Old Trafford, the team seems to be slowly getting used to his system.
The Portuguese manager is looking at the transfer window as an opportunity to sign players who can help him better implement his style of play. Signing a new world-class forward seems to be one of his priorities. He wants to bring in someone who has a significant physical presence, and speed and is effective enough in front of goal.
United are interested in signing Nunez
With Marcus Rashford expected to be on the move in the ongoing transfer window, they could have the budget to make a big move. The Red Devils are reportedly interested in the services of Darwin Nunez who plays for their arch-rivals Liverpool.
Nunez was on United’s wishlist before he made the move to the Merseyside club back in 2022. Now, they are looking to raid the Reds for his signature. People at Anfield had a lot of expectations from the Uruguayan international when they made him their most expensive signing of all time.
While he has done a decent job, the 25-year-old hasn’t lived up to the expectations resulting in a possibility of him leaving the club. United are looking to make the most out of this opportunity as they look to reinforce their attack. He seems to be just the kind of forward Amorim wants in his team.
United are keen on his signature but they will have to make a significant financial effort to get him from their arch-rivals as his contract there runs until the summer of 2028. Meanwhile, the Red Devils could face competition from Saudi Arabian clubs who are willing to offer him a lucrative deal to move to the Middle East.
