After being reluctant to get drawn into a bidding war, Manchester United have missed out on signing Darwin Nunez this summer. The centre-forward is set to join Liverpool and could have his medical today, which means United's search for a striker continues.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, is the only recognised centre-forward at the club and he's very much in the winter of his career. United will surely sign a new striker in the coming months, but they might have to get creative in the market after watching Nunez make the move to Anfield. United will need to identify Nunez alternatives and a player that could perfectly fit that billing is Lautaro Martinez.
Martinez has just enjoyed the most prolific season of his career to date with Inter Milan. The forward scored 24 goals 49 appearances across all competitions in Italy and he's been linked with a return with his former manager Antoine Conte at Tottenham.
