Earlier in the transfer window, Manchester United were linked with Darwin Nunez as a back-up and then eventual replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. However, with a price tag of £85m, a move to Old Trafford never materialised for the Uruguayan forward.
Nunez instead moved to Liverpool where he replaced Sadio Mane who has moved to Bayern Munich. However, Nunez has not enjoyed a great start to life at Anfield.
During Liverpool's 4-0 loss to United, Nunez missed his side's best chance of the second half by skying a shot right in front of goal. In the Merseysiders' second outing of pre-season against Crystal Palace, he did the same thing. His ball control has also not been great during these early matches.
