Manchester United look to have missed out on transfer target Darwin Nunez this summer.
The Benfica star has attracted plenty of interest this summer, scoring 34 times across all competitions this season.
Nunez impressed in the Champions League as Benfica reached the quarter-final stage, and he has become one of the most in-demand players of the summer window.
United are one of the clubs to have been strongly linked, but they are far from the only.
And the latest reports coming out of Portugal suggest bad news for the Red Devils.
According to Record, Liverpool have now met Benfica’s asking price of £85million, and they appear to be closing in on a deal.

United could follow by doing the same, but according to the report, Nunez has already informed his current club that he wants to join Liverpool.
That could be a huge blow for United and, of course, Erik ten Hag, who is in desperate need of improvements ahead of his first season in charge at Old Trafford.
What is this I’m hearing, after how long United’s been chasing D. Nunez and I’m hearing he wants Liverpool. Wel though it’s his choice, a club just experiences a major drop in performance and miss out on UCL football and everyone is hesitating to join, well I hope Uniteds performance shocks everyone next season and they regret. We have other areas to strengthen on well, so let’s utilise and spend what we have well and get quality signings. A good CF like Nunez, 2 midfielders like F De Jong and Milinkovic Savic or Ruben Nevez and a versatile CB, we’ve been linked with some
#Unitedforever
It seems like every big name is after Liverpool and Man city in England these days.I knew it that Nunez will join Liverpool since Man City hired Halland .The dominance of Liverpool and Man City will be difficulty to stop in England.
Let it be bruh, let everybody go to kidneypool or Man SH***Y
When they don’t get a game or when they keep coming off the bench that’s when they will start crying.
mate united are absolute shit the only reason you avoided the uefa conference league is Brighton did you a massive favour and took a point off west ham Pogba just walked away because he could see the circus that is your club praying for man city success because you are no where near competing for anything
U are mad
United is always late in bidding the talented players since last 8 years ago. They are hesitance in dealing with the club and not so sure whose they are really wanted and which areas the team is really need to enforce . So they lost the first 4 places and the talented players are also hesitance to come the club. I ‘m one of the faithful fan of Manchester United since over 26 years ago and still supporting only to this team.
is it the fault of Nunez or man utd, shouldn’t man utd be meeting that amount to b paid before now?
this club is a mess of a club
He is only lucky this season, he doesn’t really have what it takes to compete in the premier league. that’s obviously why he want to duck out from big responsibility
Man u are never serious in transfer always pricing players here and there without acting.
Now I understand what Van gal meant by calling man united a business club.
Me am not expecting anything from man united next season it’s a shame anyways
Man u again missing! Now who are they going to sign as a long term forward?
Why is man u always very slow when it comes to signing players, it’s really annoying.definately they will not even be able to qualify for champions league next season.it’s really a shame
Liverpool are the GREATEST everyone wants to join them, Manure pick up or scraps
it is so devastating to chase players, spending alot of time on bargaining yet other clubs who want success do their businesses in a very short period of time,,I pity Ten Gag at this moment at united he’s gonna feel embarrassed like never before😓
With Nunez and Philips in midfield
We will win the league Liverpool know
How to get their man no hesitating
Front 3 now frightening
Really excited about this news
OLiverpool I Love You 🏆⚽️😀🇮🇪
They have started by disapointing the new coach i wish he also disapoint them
I think he made the choice he thought was best for him
Hopes it works out for him though…
the only solution is to sell the club to a serious owner who is ready to upgrade the club,#Glazer out
We don’t blame dem.is about to sign is about to perform.there is alot of player over there want to come to man u.i have the believe that man u we be better next season.we are love 💕 manchester.
To be honest Manchester United ain’t ready for change yet …. The club is still needing much funds before they can sell the likes of Jones Marguir Bailey they are making things difficult for us
Andreas still coming back to the team those are player we are supposed to sell for just 7£
We have many more to sell they should just go and we should stop looking for players with high wage demands
At this point there are good player in Germany who wages are low
We don’t need big name we need serious football players
Reuben Neves
First not pleading to sign De Jong
We have players who are interested and ready to play we can’t be pleading to bring in players with high wage demands without know the league is very though
@picasso so tell us who Man Utd should sign. You just opted that out because Man Utd didn’t sign him. How is it that he can’t perform in premier league. Show me a current player Liverpool bought and doesn’t perform. Take a look at Diaz. Shame on you and shame on Man Utd.
I don’t really understand this man utd always unserious in biding for players
Mman u are always doing rubbish business when it comes to recruitment am tired of the board
IS THE FAULT OF UEFA CHAMPION LEAGUE
