Liverpool great Luis Garcia has urged under-fire Darwin Nunez to "work harder" after a difficult start to his first pre-season with the Reds.
Nunez, who Anfield chiefs shelled out an initial £64million on to sign from Benfica in June, looked out of sorts in both of his new team's friendly matches, against Manchester United and Crystal Palace. The 22-year-old striker was mocked by rival fans for his squandered chances and clunky play, having signed a four-year contract on Merseyside.
But while Garcia is confident that Nunez - who could end up costing a total of £85m - will come good, the Spaniard has added to the early criticism with a clear demand.
