RMC Sport reports, as quoted by Metro UK, that United were willing to offer almost 68 million euros ro bring the striker to Old Trafford.

The Uruguayan has been on the radar of top clubs including Arsenal and Newcastle. But both clubs will also miss out due to lack of Champions League football.

Arsenal had included Nunez on its wish list that also includes Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus and Barcelona's Memphis Depay.

Both are set to leave on free transfers with Di Maria being Juventus bound and Mbappee seemingly likely to join Real Madrid.
