Diego Forlan and Jurgen Klopp agree about Manchester United transfer target Darwin Nunez

Jurgen Klopp and former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan have already agreed on what Darwin Nunez can bring to the Premier League should Benfica sanction a big-money transfer for the player.

The 22-year-old remains hot property heading into the summer transfer window amid suggestions Erik ten Hag wants to prioritise his signature as part of an impending rebuild. United are searching for a centre-back, a versatile attacking option — such as Nunez — and at least one central midfield recruit.

Benfica are open to selling Nunez this summer but, according to reports, are set to dig their heels in over the fee for Uruguay's frontman. Indeed, they are thought to value him at nearly £80million after Nunez scored 34 goals in 41 games across all competitions for the Portuguese outfit this season.
