Manchester United, grappling with inconsistent attacking performances this season, have emerged as unexpected contenders in the pursuit of a Liverpool forward.
Despite a shaky start to their campaign, the arrival of manager Ruben Amorim has brought a renewed sense of hope. Yet, the team remains in the bottom half of the Premier League standings, prompting the club to consider bolstering its squad during the upcoming transfer windows.
One potential target is 25-year-old Darwin Nunez, who has struggled to find consistent form at Liverpool. The Uruguayan striker, who has managed only seven league starts under manager Arne Slot, appears to have fallen out of favor at Anfield. His underwhelming record this season includes just two goals in 15 Premier League appearances.
Interestingly, Nunez was previously linked with United before his move to Liverpool, and fresh reports suggest that the Red Devils may reignite their interest. The club reportedly views Nunez’s pace and physical attributes as a good fit for Amorim’s tactical approach at Old Trafford.
However, a transfer between two fierce rivals remains unlikely. Liverpool would be reluctant to strengthen a direct competitor, and United would be taking a gamble on a player with a patchy record this season. The last direct transfer between the clubs occurred in 1964, involving Phil Chisnall, underscoring the rarity of such moves.
Additionally, Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott has drawn attention from Borussia Dortmund and Brighton, hinting at a potential midfield reshuffle at Anfield.
