“Did Liverpool lose the title” – Social media responds to Darwin Nunez’s inefficient performance against Manchester United
Darwin Nunez has received a lot of backlash on social media in the wake of his Manchester United performance.
The Liverpool striker did set up Luis Diaz’s first goal, but he wasted other opportunities as the Reds failed to close off the match despite playing a strong first half.
Despite not having a single effort on goal in the first forty-five minutes, Man Utd only trailed 1-0 at the half because of dreadful finishing by Jurgen Klopp’s team.
Nunez was one of the players at fault, and in the second half, the Uruguayan’s problems in front of goal persisted. Many times, Liverpool was able to cut through Manchester United with ease, but Nunez was more often than not the culprit with a terrible final pass or shot.
In the x minute, with Liverpool trailing the game after goals from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo, he was replaced by Cody Gakpo.
Nunez has scored 18 goals and provided 13 assists in all competitions so far this season, but he wasted a lot of opportunities against Liverpool, and he now has the second-highest number of missed huge chances in the 2023–24 Premier League season.
You see what I mean about Darwin Nunez?
No amount of goals and assists will convince me he’s good.
Half of the strikers in the league playing in a squad that creates as many chances as Liverpool, they triple his output.

Darwin Nunez should wear a question mark instead of a number.

People were genuinely trying to say that Darwin Nunez is better than Alexander Isak with a straight face. Have a day off.

More news…….
Arsenal and Liverpool are interested: Dortmund will give up their prolific striker.
Donyell Malen can yet be forced out of the team by Jadon Sancho’s outstanding performances for Borussia Dortmund.
A possible trade agreement that would keep the former Manchester United player in Germany might employ the Englishman’s excellent teammate as a makeweight.
Yet, there will be no shortage of suitors for the 25-year-old right-sided striker, according to Edin Terzic’s team.
“Jadon Sancho continues to improve. He most recently scored in matches against Eindhoven and Bremen. The team examined historical information from the archives in order to compare Sancho’s initial Dortmund stats. Then, his workout regimen will be modified,” Christian Falk said in his special Fact Files column.
Sebastian Kehl, the sports director, is overjoyed with Sancho. He wants to speak with Manchester United in May because of this. Another loan is the objective.
“However, a backup plan exists as well: Donyell Malen is presently performing at his highest level since joining Dortmund. There is interest in him from Manchester United. Dortmund would discard him. A trade exchange would be possible.
“Good news for Dortmund: The Dutchman is also attracting interest from Arsenal FC and Liverpool FC.”
Malen has been having an incredible season in the German top division, contributing eight goals in his last seven league appearances.
Is Sancho going back to Manchester United?
Until Sancho issues a very public apology to Erik ten Hag, it appears quite doubtful that he will be able to resume his career at Old Trafford at this point.
However, considering how a return to Germany has rekindled a waning career, the 23-year-old might be happy enough to stay put.
At this point, the only thing that could persuade Sancho to believe differently would be a managerial change in Manchester
