However, a Manchester United fan has attempted to quell Liverpool supporters’ excitement by sharing a not-so-flattering compilation of the Uruguayan.

In the video, Nunez makes a string of errors, including some poor touches, inaccurate passes and wild shots. It’s pretty harsh, in all honesty.

“Darwin Nunez for €100m is crazy,” reads the accompanying caption.
