Erik ten Hag is on the verge of being appointed Manchester United manager. When he officially joins the club, he will be tasked with checking over and vetoing any potential targets the club had intended to pursue.
One area of the squad that needs addressing is up front. With Edinson Cavani leaving on a free transfer and Cristiano Ronaldo having only a year remaining on his contract, United want to sign a younger striker who can lead the project for years to come.
One name that has been heavily suggested is Cavani's fellow countryman Darwin Nunez and it is understood that United will soon hold talks with his agent. Nunez has scored 32 goals in 37 games so far this season, including six in the Champions League.
