  • Richarlison of Premier League side Everton could be on his way to Manchester United at the end of the season
  • Manchester United chiefs have placed him as alternative should they fail land Darwin Nunez of Benfica
  • Richarlison has not been that impressive this season for Everton as the Brazilian has netted only seven goals in all competition

Brazilian forward Richarlison who plays for Premier League side Everton has reportedly emerged as alternative target for Manchester United should they fail to get Benfica star Darwin Nunez.

Darwin Nunez is a target for Manchester United chiefs as the Red Devils want to bolster their squad for next season, but they are aware that they are not the only ones interested in him.

Nunez has found the back of the 32 times this season, including one in each leg of his side's 6-4 Champions League quarter-final loss to Liverpool.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was full of praise tipping the 22-year-old to have a big career in football.

According to the report on UK Sun, Nunez will be interested in joining only a team that will play in the Champions League next season and Manchester United does not appear to be one.

Why is Manchester United not appearing to be one?

With seven games left for Manchester United to play this season in the Premier League, the Red Devils are currently occupying seventh position on the table and have no or limited hope of making the top four.

Incoming Man United coach makes final decision on Cristiano Ronaldo's future

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how incoming Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has told Manchester United chiefs that they are free to sell or allow Portugal international Cristiano Ronaldo to leave this summer.

The 52-year-old Dutchman is said to have verbally agreed deal with Manchester United chiefs over replacing Ralf Rangnick at Old Trafford at the end of the ongoing Premier League season.

Erik ten Hag is expected to sign a four-year deal as Manchester United coach and will be given the mandate for him to win titles at the club.

The report added that Ten Hag feels that Cristiano Ronaldo's age and luxury status are not suited to his long-term plan.

That means Cristiano Ronaldo is free to leave less than a year after making a stunning return to Old Trafford.
