Dwight Yorke believes Manchester United should “try to poach” Darwin Nunez from Liverpool to strengthen their attacking options.
The Red Devils have only scored 8 goals in 9 Premier League matches this season and when asked by SafestCasinoSites.co.uk who would he buy to improve the team’s shortcomings in front of goal, Yorke replied:
“If I could sign someone to play number nine at Manchester United, then I would try and take Darwin Nunez from Liverpool. Again, I know people may scoff at that suggestion, he’s a little out of form, and people give him punishment, but I’m sure that there’s a monster player there waiting to break out. He had presence; he’s got something bad about him and I think he’s a real handful.”
Yorke thinks there are other strikers, such as Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins, who could do a good job for United, but he feels Nunez would be the best option:
“Manchester United need players who can act as a focal point and give them a presence on the pitch. They need someone with the physical attributes of Darwin Nunez. He is someone I will try to win over. If I was looking for a number nine right now, I’d take a chance with this guy. Ollie Watkins is a great striker, but I think United need someone with more physical strength up front. I’m sure if you play him week in week out he will start to destroy the Premier League.”
Nunez does not have the best record in English football
After scoring 34 goals for Benfica in the 2021/22 season, Liverpool splashed out a club record £85 million to bring the Uruguay international to Merseyside.
However, Nunez has struggled to score goals consistently, having scored 35 goals in 107 appearances. This season, he only bagged 2 goals in 11 matches.
United may back their two young strikers
It’s worth noting that the Red Devils spent £72m on Rasmus Hojlund last year and the Dane actually has a better record than Nunez in England, averaging a goal every 2.89 games, whereas the Liverpool man has scored 1 goal in every 3 games.
With Joshua Zirkzee arriving from Bologna in the summer too, United’s next manager may want to give the pair every chance to succeed at Old Trafford before looking for a replacement.
