Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has praised new signing Darwin Nunez and believes the Uruguayan can have a big career at Anfield despite some early struggles in pre-season.
The former Benfica frontman moved to Merseyside in a deal that could reach £85million and has effectively been given the task of replacing Sadio Mane, who joined Bayern Munich earlier this summer.
But Nunez has not exactly hit the ground running, with a clip of the 23-year-old blazing over the bar from close range against Manchester United in a pre-season friendly going viral.
Rival fans have jumped on the striker’s stuttering start to life at Liverpool, with a compilation of another underwhelming performance against Crystal Palace also mocked by supporters of other clubs.
