Since he’s really underrated in Liverpool, this would be a good chance to get such an amazing player that would revitalize your midfield” – Ruben Amorim has been advised by Ian Wright to sign Liverpool’s “monster” midfielder for Manchester United in a surprising transfer that could have a major impact on the Premier League. The player, known for his physicality and dominance, is seen as a potential game-changer for United’s midfield.
Manchester United are entering a fresh chapter under Ruben Amorim’s leadership, and former player Dwight Yorke believes Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez would make an ideal initial signing.
United recently dismissed Ten Hag after a disappointing run of just 11 points in nine games, with the team’s goal-scoring one of the lowest in the league.
Current strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have netted just two Premier League goals combined, fueling rumors that United could be in the market for a new striker come January.
Amorim is expected to officially take over during the November international break, with his debut match against Ipswich Town.
Yorke has recommended that United make a bold move for Nunez, a player he feels could thrive with regular game time and emerge as a formidable force.
“If I could choose a number nine for United, I’d attempt to lure Darwin Nunez from Liverpool,” Yorke commented in an interview. “Some may doubt this, given his recent form, but I see immense potential. He has a strong physical presence, a touch of grit, and I believe he’d be a significant asset.”
Nunez, who transferred to Liverpool from Benfica in 2022 for £85 million, has shown moments of excellence despite inconsistency.
The 25-year-old has only scored once in the Premier League this season, but Yorke is confident he could excel with more playtime.
“Nunez is someone I’d gamble on for the number nine role,” Yorke added. “While Ollie Watkins is impressive, United needs a more imposing striker. With consistent play, I believe Nunez could dominate the Premier League.”
Although Nunez’s contract with Liverpool runs until 2028, reports suggest Liverpool might consider a new striker by 2025, potentially opening the door for a future transfer.
Meanwhile, Amorim has also reportedly outlined plans to part with four United players by January. Sources indicate that Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof, Casemiro, and Antony are likely to be placed on the transfer list.
With their high wages of £350,000 and £200,000 per week respectively, the club is open to offers around £25 million each for Casemiro and Antony. However, Eriksen and Lindelof’s potential suitors might wait until their contracts expire next summer to avoid transfer fees.
Manchester United’s upcoming chapter under Ruben Amorim signals significant change, with the club aiming to address long-standing goal-scoring struggles that have plagued the season. Following a poor start that led to Erik ten Hag’s dismissal, Amorim is expected to shake things up, beginning with adjustments to the squad as soon as January.
Former United striker Dwight Yorke has suggested Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez as a potential high-impact signing. Despite his inconsistencies, Yorke sees potential in the Uruguayan striker, citing his physicality, aggression, and adaptability as assets United could leverage with consistent playtime. Though Nunez has scored only once this season, Yorke is confident that, in the right environment, he could develop into a top Premier League striker.
Nunez, who joined Liverpool for £85 million in 2022, remains under contract until 2028. However, rumors suggest that Liverpool could be open to bolstering their forward options by 2025, hinting at a possible opening for United in the near future.
In addition to pursuing a new striker, Amorim has plans to trim the squad. Reports indicate that Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof, Casemiro, and Antony could be transfer-listed by January, with the club open to selling Casemiro and Antony for offers near £25 million each due to their high wages. Eriksen and Lindelof, however, might stay until their contracts end next summer, with suitors possibly waiting to avoid transfer fees.
Amorim’s anticipated arrival during the November international break should provide clarity on his strategies, as he looks to rebuild and prepare for his debut match against Ipswich Town.
