Manchester United’s ongoing struggles in front of goal this season have prompted the club to consider new signings, with manager Ruben Amorim leading the charge to improve the squad. Despite United’s position in the lower half of the Premier League table, Amorim’s arrival has brought optimism, and the club is set to make moves in the transfer market, with significant activity expected in the summer when their financial situation is clearer.
One of the names reportedly on United’s radar is Liverpool’s Darwin Núñez. The Uruguayan forward, who has struggled for consistent game time under Liverpool manager Arne Slot, is said to be of interest to United, who view his pace and physicality as fitting well with Amorim’s tactical setup. However, Núñez’s inconsistent form, with just two goals in 15 Premier League appearances this season, raises doubts about whether he is the right fit for United.
Moreover, the possibility of a transfer between Manchester United and Liverpool seems unlikely given the longstanding rivalry between the two clubs. Historically, transfers between them are rare, with Phil Chisnall being the last player to make the switch in 1964. This makes a potential deal for Núñez even more improbable.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is also facing challenges in retaining players, with reports indicating that clubs like Borussia Dortmund and Brighton are eyeing Harvey Elliott. With United’s striker search ongoing, it seems that targeting Núñez might be both a risky and unlikely move, given his struggles for form and the rivalry between the two clubs.
