# Manchester United: Red Devils launch Darwin Nunez offer

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) are looking to beat Tottenham in the race for Darwin Nunez and have now made a bid for the Benfica striker.**

### The Lowdown: United and Spurs links

Erik ten Hag is yet to make a first marquee signing since taking over at Old Trafford. The club have been heavily linked with a move for Nunez, though, with transfer insider [Dean Jones](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/manchester-united-transfer-update-darwin-nunez/) believing a move has been ‘extremely close’.

Spurs are also [‘fully in the race’](https://twitter.com/RudyGaletti/status/1531246762882629634) for the [‘big name’](https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1503852279639597057?lang=en-GB) striker, and it looks as if United have now acted on their interest looking to beat Antonio Conte’s side to a deal by launching a formal offer for the player who is [keen](https://twitter.com/RudyGaletti/status/1531246762882629634) on a move to Manchester.

### The Latest: £90m bid

[Sports Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/claim-manchester-united-placed-e105m-bid-striker-club-waiting-response/) relayed an update from [Correio da Manhã](https://cmjornal.pt/) regarding Nunez on Friday. They claim that United have tabled an offer worth a total €105m (£90m) for the Uruguayan.

The Red Devils are willing to pay an initial €75m with €20m in bonuses and the final instalment coming in the form of a loan of a Red Devils player worth €10m.

### The Verdict: Good move

Nunez is clearly a man in demand this summer, which doesn’t come as a shock following his [34](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/darwin-nunez/leistungsdaten/spieler/546543)-goal tally last season, so it’s good to see that United have firmed up their interest with a serious sounding offer.

Ten Hag could do with another marquee forward to either partner or challenge Cristiano Ronaldo next season, especially with [Edinson Cavani](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/mar/03/edinson-cavani-set-for-manchester-united-exit-and-targets-la-liga-move#:~:text=Edinson%20Cavani%20is%20set%20to,another%20of%20Europe's%20major%20leagues.) set to depart.

Nunez, who can also turn out in a [deeper](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/darwin-nunez/leistungsdaten/spieler/546543) role or from the [left](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/darwin-nunez/leistungsdaten/spieler/546543), now appears to be the club’s main attacking target, so hopefully, it won’t be long until we hear Benfica’s response.
