Portuguese football expert Pedro Sepulveda has made the big claim that Manchester United could try to hijack Liverpool’s transfer deal for Darwin Nunez.
There has been plenty of speculation today about Liverpool pursuing the Benfica striker, but it looks like Man Utd can’t be ruled out of the running just yet.
As Fabrizio Romano wrote in his CaughtOffside column today, Liverpool were leading the race for Nunez at that time, but the Red Devils still had an interest in the player as well.
Now, it seems that United are planning to hold talks with Nunez’s new agent Jorge Mendes to see if a move to Old Trafford could still be possible as well…
? "Manchester United will have a meeting with Jorge Mendes, which is the new Darwin Núñez agent" ?

Nunez should surely choose Liverpool over United if he wants to win trophies, though there’s always the chance he could help launch an exciting new era under Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
Either way, it seems this saga isn’t over yet and will be one to watch in the next few days.
It is a shame if we allow Liverpool to pip us to the signing of Nunez. Manchester United are in dare need of a top class striker. You don’t win trophies without scoring goals. We lost the chance of signing Haaland now we are letting Nunez slip out of our hands to Liverpool of all teams. It is bad enough that we are currently living under the shadows of Liverpool and Man City but it is a slap in the face of all man united fans to allow Liverpool sign out top targets ahead of us. Do we plan to compete with them at all?
It isn’t real for man u skip nunez deal, we play a competetive era so I dont dream man u challanging in any trophy wiz liverpool en man city of nunez & halaand respectively.
