Darwin Nunez would be 'spectacular' for Manchester United, insists Diego Forlan, as he urges Benfica star to choose 'very cosy' Old Trafford over transfer rivals including Arsenal (despite flopping there himself!)

Uruguayan star striker Darwin Nunez has been urged by his countryman Diego Forlan to choose a 'spectacular' move to Manchester United over others vying for his signature, including Arsenal.

Nunez has been one of the breakout stars of this season in Europe, scoring an astonishing 34 goals in 40 appearances for Benfica.

Most notably, this has included six goals in the Champions League, with the 22-year-old spearheading Benfica's run to the quarter-finals with goals against elite clubs Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Ajax and Liverpool.
