ANFIELD NEWS: Liverpool news: Transfer news Report: Man United emerge as surprise candidate to sign Liverpool attacker

Report: Manchester United Linked with Unexpected Move for Liverpool Forward

Manchester United has been facing difficulties with their attacking performance this season, which is evident in their results.

Despite a rough beginning, the appointment of manager Ruben Amorim has brought some hope. However, the team remains in the lower part of the Premier League standings.

The club is aiming to support Amorim in the transfer market, with potential signings anticipated, particularly in the summer transfer window when their financial position becomes more certain.

In their search for a forward, United may look to make a move for 25-year-old striker Darwin Nunez, who has been underperforming at Liverpool. Nunez has dropped down the selection hierarchy at Anfield, starting only seven Premier League matches this season under manager Arne Slot.

There had been previous links between Nunez and United before he eventually joined Liverpool, but now reports indicate that United could target the Uruguayan once again. They believe that Nunez’s physical attributes and speed would complement Amorim’s tactical approach at Old Trafford.

However, it seems unlikely that Liverpool would permit Nunez to move to a direct competitor like United, and even if a transfer were possible, signing a player with inconsistent form—evidenced by just two goals in 15 league appearances this season—would present a risky proposition.

The last player to transfer directly between Liverpool and United was Phil Chisnall in 1964, meaning this report should be viewed with skepticism.

In the meantime, Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott is also attracting attention, with Borussia Dortmund and Brighton reportedly interested in the midfielder.
