Manchester United’s inconsistent attacking form this season has sparked speculation about potential reinforcements, with Liverpool’s Darwin Núñez emerging as a surprising target.
Despite a difficult start to their campaign, the arrival of manager Rúben Amorim has brought renewed optimism, though United remains in the bottom half of the Premier League, intensifying the need for new signings.
Núñez, 25, has struggled to establish himself at Liverpool under Arne Slot, managing just two goals in 15 Premier League appearances and starting only seven matches.
His dip in form has fueled rumors of a potential departure, with Manchester United reportedly revisiting their previous interest in the Uruguayan striker. They view his pace and physicality as a strong fit for Amorim’s tactical approach.
However, a deal between the fierce rivals seems highly unlikely. Liverpool would be reluctant to strengthen a direct competitor, and United would be taking a gamble on a player yet to find consistent form.
Transfers between the two clubs are rare, with the last direct move being Phil Chisnall in 1964, making such a transfer even more improbable.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott is attracting attention from Borussia Dortmund and Brighton, hinting at potential midfield changes at Anfield.
As both clubs navigate their challenges, the January transfer window could play a decisive role in shaping their seasons.
Should Manchester United take the risk on Núñez, or would it be wiser to explore alternative options to resolve their attacking woes?
