Darwin Nunez has given Manchester United a new transfer option with Liverpool FC performance

Darwin Nunez has plenty of goals for his showreel this summer but if who you score against is as important as the quantity then the Uruguayan is ticking that box as well.

After bringing Benfica back into their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night, the 22-year-old has now found the back of the net against Liverpool, Ajax, Bayern Munich and Barcelona in this season's competition.

That would suggest a man for the big occasion but a collection of 28 goals in 35 games in all competitions shows he isn't just picking and choosing his moments and if this first big clash against a Premier League side was a shop window, then the queue could be forming at opening time.

Nunez's threat was obvious given the damage he'd already caused to the European ambitions of Barcelona and Ajax this season and pre-match Jurgen Klopp identified him as a significant danger.

“He’s a good striker,” said Klopp. “The next one from Uruguay! I don’t know how they play together, Cavani, Suarez and him, in one team – that’s probably a challenge to put that in place.

“Top, top boy. Yes, the goals he’s scored. Obviously, the one against Ajax in Amsterdam was a massive one, yes in the group stage as well, so he’s not shy."

Klopp's endorsement may well have had a longer-term aim given Liverpool have been linked with a summer move for Nunez, although there's hardly a shortage of forwards at Anfield.

Most of Europe's elite have found themselves mentioned near to Nunez's name and it certainly looks like the groundwork is being laid for a transfer this summer, with talk of a £60million valuation.
