Man Utd and Arsenal scouting mission comes after Luis Suarez transfer endorsement

Manchester United and Arsenal could go head-to-head in the summer and battle it out for the signature of Benfica forward and Uruguayan international Darwin Nunez.

The 22-year-old is attracting plenty of potential suitors for his efforts in Portugal with 21 goals in 23 league games this term as well as five in nine in the Champions League - proving he is a man for the biggest stage which will undoubtedly make him more attractive to European giants.
