Thierry Henry opens up on Sadio Mane's role in Darwin Nunez's Liverpool struggles

Arsenal icon Thierry Henry has suggested Darwin Nunez is struggling to fill the shoes of Liverpool legend Sadio Mane at Anfield this season.

The 23-year-old Uruguay international was brought to the red half of Merseyside for big money last summer as Jurgen Klopp agreed to part ways with £85million as well as an array of add-ons to sign Nunez from Benfica. He has been guilty of spurning some glorious chances already this term, which has heaped pressure on the striker to perform.

Henry has explained that while he feels Nunez is showing some positive signs, he is guilty of trying to "overdo it" in front of goal and could already be crumbling under the pressure of aiming to match Mane's impact.
