Liverpool have greenlit the sale of Darwin Nunez and a bombshell new update claims Manchester United are ready to make their move. Nunez, 25, remains a constant source of frustration at Liverpool. The player is blessed with physical gifts and few defenders in world football can match his electric speed.

Virgil van Dijk, the Liverpool captain, is in no mood to declare Núñez’s winner a title game-changer yet. “Every win feels big. It doesn’t really matter if it is in the first minute or last minute,” he said, pragmatically.

Manchester United are reportedly leading the race to sign Darwin Nunez from Liverpool, aiming to make a bold statement and intensify their rivalry.
