Manchester United are pushing to sign Benfica striker Darwin Nunez during the upcoming transfer window.
The Red Devils have their sights on landing a marquee centre-forward and Nunez has emerged as the prime target.
The club have the funds to meet the £80 million price tag, but questions remain whether the forward would choose them.
With Real Madrid and Liverpool also keen, United face a disadvantage, having failed to qualify for the Champions League.
Despite this, The Star claims that the hierarchy are pushing to land the Uruguayan, who netted a stunning 34 goals last season.
Manager Erik ten Hag has identified him as his priority target, and only time will tell whether they can convince him over a transfer.
Aside from Nunez, Ten Hag has his sights on landing Jurrien Timber from his former Ajax club. He is valued at around £35m.
A deal could be more straightforward for the Dutchman with United having already negotiated personal terms with his agents.
