Benfica striker Darwin Nunez added to Man Utd striker wish-list

Benfica striker Darwin Nunez is reportedly a target for Manchester United.

The Red Devils are looking to improve at the forward position this summer as current starter Cristiano Ronaldo enters the twilight of his career.

Edinson Cavani is also expected to depart once his contract expires at the end of this season.

Several names have been touted for a move to Old Trafford, including Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland and Harry Kane of Tottenham.

Portuguese outlet Record says Nunez is also a name included on United's striker short-list.

West Ham United pushed hard to sign the Uruguay international during the January transfer window.

Benfica slapped a price tag of £50million on the 22-year-old, who has scored 20 goals in as many Primeira Liga matches this term.
