The 'Daily Mail' reports that Man Utd are thinking of going in for hard for Darwin Nunez in the summer transfer window. He is a Benfica player and the Portuguese club have already turned down bids of 50 million euros for him.

Darwin Nunez has shone in the Portuguese League since he left Almeria to play for Benfica. Numerous clubs have shown interest in the Uruguayan. Juventus, Dortmund, Newcastle, West Ham and Man Utd have all shown interest and Man Utd are thinking of making a big move for him in the summer transfer window, according to the 'Daily Mail'. 

It is worth bearing in mind that Benfica, his club, have turned down offers of around 50 million euros, so the Red Devils will have to offer much more than that. Their budget is easily big enough to spend that money, but the club will have to decide whether it is worth it. 

The Uruguayan is giving more than enough reasons for no one to doubt of the quality he would bring to Old Trafford. Last season, he scored 14 goals in 44 matches and he has 21 in 26 so far this season. And with an important part of the season still ahead, he is quite likely to improve these stats. 

Another important aspect to understand why his market value is so high is because of his age. At the age of just 22, he is performing outstandingly and he has a long career ahead of him. Whether he stays in Portugal or moves to England or somewhere else is up to him.
