Manchester United reportedly make Benfica striker Darwin Nunez their number one attacking target for the summer transfer window.

Benfica striker Darwin Nunez has reportedly moved to the top of Manchester United's attacking shortlist.

The Uruguay international scored his 32nd goal of the season in all competitions in Wednesday's 3-3 draw with Liverpool in the Champions League and had a further two strikes on the night ruled out for offside.

Nunez's stellar showings in the 2021-22 campaign have supposedly attracted the attention of numerous clubs across Europe, and Benfica are thought to be open to selling for the right price.

According to The Mirror, Nunez is now Man United's number one target for the final third in the summer transfer window, with Harry Kane ready to turn down interest from the Red Devils to stay at Tottenham Hotspur.

Man United are expected to lose Edinson Cavani on a free transfer at the end of the season, while Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial's futures at Old Trafford are also unclear.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain have also been credited with an interest in Nunez, who is thought to be valued in the region of €80m (£66.2m) by Benfica.
