Despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s excellent goal-scoring form, Manchester United are looking for a striker this season. The iconic striker’s contract is up in a year, and the club is believed to be looking ahead.
Darwin Nunez of Benfica is one of Europe’s most exciting prospects this season, and his performances for the Portuguese club have piqued the interest of numerous big European clubs.
Manchester United are also rumoured to be interested in the Uruguayan, but now it has been claimed that he has turned down the opportunity to join United because of their lack of Champions League action.
Darwin Nunez prefers to play in the Champions League, something the Red Devils will not supply next season, according to Fabrizio Romano.

United had previously failed to qualify for the Champions League, and aside from the summer of 2014, when they were without Champions League football for the first time in the Premier League’s history, they have struggled to attract the best players.
Daniel James, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Harry Maguire joined the club in the summer of 2019. Erik ten Hag will be very eager to sign as many of his top targets as possible this summer.
