Nunez, according to the Telegraph, is only interested in joining a club that can guarantee him Champions League football.
The Red Devils will compete in the Europa League this season after finishing sixth in the Premier League previous season. It could cost them the chance to sign the Uruguayan forward, according to The Telegraph.
Nunez scored 34 goals in 41 games for Benfica in the recently finished season, including six goals in ten Champions League games. Multiple teams are apparently interested in the 22-year-old forward, who is expected to cost between £55m and £65m.
Manchester United will require forwards for the upcoming season.
United were seen to be heavily armed in the frontline after signing Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus last summer.
Edinson Cavani, Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford, and Anthony Martial could all play as Ronaldo's backup, giving the Red Devils a total of five options.
United, on the other hand, appears to have exhausted all but a few possibilities during the last year. Cavani's contract with the club is set to expire this summer, and he is expected to leave. Greenwood has been suspended indefinitely by the club due to personal concerns off the pitch. Martial spent the second half of last season on loan at Sevilla, where he struggled to make an impression. Under new manager Erik ten Hag, he is unlikely to be a reliable option for the Red Devils.
Rashford has seen a huge drop in form and isn't playing at his best right now. As a result, Ronaldo is United's lone in-form striker heading into the new season.
Ronaldo scored 24 goals in 39 games for Manchester United last season, but he will turn 38 in February of next year. While looking for a new forward this summer, Manchester United will have to think about their long-term plans.
Darwin Nunez, who is 22 years old, appears to be a viable option for the Red Devils. He's a hitman who can keep the ball and move around the box to get his teammates involved.
Manchester United, on the other hand, will need to up their game if reports from The Telegraph are to be believed.
