Instead, it was a certain Benjamin Sesko who stole the spotlight. Nunez played for his new team in Salzburg on Wednesday night, but he wasn't the striker who caught the eye of spectators. Darwin Nunez was of interest to the recruitment team in Manchester, but Liverpool managed to acquire his services. The former has made his wishes to leave Old Trafford this summer apparent in recent weeks, with Erik ten Hag instead deploying Anthony Martial to spearhead his attack throughout pre-season. Last season, they were forced to rely upon Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani up top, both of whom were over the age of 35. The list currently includes names like Ruben Neves, Antony and Christian Eriksen.Manchester United's striker department has needed strengthening for some time. However, the number of players they are linked with remains high. Darwin Nunez snubbed the Red Devils to join Liverpool, while Frenkie De Jong does not look close to joining them either. Malcolm Ebiowei becomes the latest casualty in Manchester United’s transfer hunt. If not, Palace are almost ready to announce the arrival of goalkeeper, Sam Johnstone, who was released from West Bromwich. If he does complete his move before the weekend, he will be the Eagles’ first summer addition.

He predominantly features on the right-wing, where we think he will probably play for Crystal Palace also. He also has very good control of the ball and his left foot is said to be magical. As you can see from his dribbling statistics, he is not afraid of taking on his man and beating him. In the under-18 Premier League, he was even better, scoring 7 times and assisting once in only 7 appearances. He is a very physically strong player with a lot of pace. He also delivered 0.9 successful crosses per 90, while having 3 successful dribbles per 90 (highest in the league). His xG was 2.05, while he created a total of 19 chances. In 16 appearances, the youngster scored once and assisted twice. His overall stats in the Championship also look quite good. In that game, he had 74 touches (2nd highest), 30 passes, 2 key passes (2nd highest), 4 crosses, 9 successful dribbles (highest), 3 fouls drawn (highest), and 14 ground duels won (highest) and 2 shots taken.
