Once the season is over, Manchester has started a process in which, under the guidance of Cristiano Ronald and coach Erik ten Hag, they hope to return the club to its glory years and an important piece who could add to this would be Benfica’s Uruguayan attacker, Darwin Núñez.
The ‘Red Devils’ have a list of players that they will try to sign this summer and despite the fact that Harry Kane’s name appears for the attack, ‘The Athletic’ has let it be known that this option would remain ruled out if first it is possible to sign ‘Charrúa’, who was also Pichichi of the Portuguese league.
Núñez, aged 26, became one of the sensations of European football after scoring a total of 34 goals, of which 26 served to make him the top scorer in the Primeira Liga de Portugal, drawing the attention of several giants.
However, United would not have it so easy since the player is wanted by clubs such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid, who have a better sports project and a good capital to achieve the signing.
For its part, the Old Trafford team also has other important players in mind, such as the Dutchman Frenkie de Jong, for whom Barcelona would be willing to listen to offers.
Likewise, there is a small inconvenience that could lead Núñez, de Jong and any other player not to want to sign for Manchester United, and that is that the team will not be in the next edition of the UEFA Champions League.
And that is one of the reasons why the Barcelona midfielder would have said no to United. In turn, we must remember that the Uruguayan striker has already rejected a first offer that came from United.
