Report: Manchester United Linked with Surprising Move for Liverpool Forward
Manchester United has been struggling with their attacking play this season, as reflected in their results.
Despite a challenging start, the arrival of manager Ruben Amorim has sparked some optimism. However, the team still finds itself in the lower half of the Premier League table.
The club is looking to back Amorim in the transfer market, with potential signings expected, especially in the summer window when their financial situation becomes clearer.
In their search for a forward, United could make a move for 25-year-old striker Darwin Nunez, currently underperforming at Liverpool. Nunez has fallen down the pecking order at Anfield, starting only seven Premier League matches this season under manager Arne Slot.
There were previous links between Nunez and United before he ultimately joined Liverpool, but now reports suggest that United could target the Uruguayan again. They believe Nunez’s physicality and pace would suit Amorim’s style of play at Old Trafford.
However, it’s unlikely that Liverpool would allow Nunez to join a direct rival like United, and even if a move were possible, signing a player with inconsistent form—evidenced by just two league goals in 15 appearances this season—would be a risky decision.
The last player to transfer directly between Liverpool and United was Phil Chisnall in 1964, suggesting that this report should be taken with caution.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott is also attracting interest, with Borussia Dortmund and Brighton reportedly pursuing the midfielder.
