Manchester United have struggled in front of goal this season and their record shows.
The Red Devils have had a difficult season, although the arrival of manager Ruben Amorim at the club has instilled some optimism.
Even with the Portuguese manager’s impressive work at the club so far, they are in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
The club decided to support the new coach in the transfer market with new signings expected to be made this year.
It is very likely that they will do most of their transfer work in the summer transfer window when they will have a better idea of their finances.
In their search for a striker, they could target a move for a 25-year-old striker who plays for one of their biggest rivals.
According to TranscriptsMan United have emerged as candidates to sign struggling Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez.
The striker has fallen down the pecking order at the club and manager Arne Slot has given him just seven Premier League starts this season.
Nunes was linked with a move to Old Trafford ahead of his eventual move to Anfield, but former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp won the race to sign him.
The Red Devils could target the Uruguayan striker again, according to the report. They see him as an ideal striker who could do well in Amorim’s system at Man United.
His physical strength and pace are seen as ideal for the type of football Amorim wants to play.
Should Man United sign Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez?
It is highly unlikely that Liverpool will allow one of their players to join their direct rivals.
Even if there is little chance of that happening, United would be making a mistake to sign a striker who has struggled in the Premier League.
Nunez has never been able to show his consistency in the league and his record of just two league goals this season in 15 appearances is testament to his poor form.
Phil Chisnall was the last player to transfer between Liverpool and United and that was way back in 1964, which shows that the report from the Spanish paper is not to be taken lightly.
Just like Nunez, Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott is in huge demand as both Borussia Dortmund and Brighton are chasing the midfielder.
Liverpool are aiming to sign the Premier League striker for £50m in January
