Man Utd boss, Erik ten Hag is keen to sign the young forward this summer as a long term replacement for 37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo.
Liverpool however are also interested in signing Nunez with Jurgen Klopp viewing him as an ideal replacement for Sadio Mane, who is now expected to join Bayern Munich.

United meanwhile have just finished their fifth consecutive campaign without silverware and will be playing in the Europa League again next season.
But according to ESPN, United will not be put off by interest from their arch-rivals and while Nunez is keen on Champions League football, they believe he can be convinced to move to Old Trafford.
Liverpool are also reluctant to get into a bidding war with United with Benfica’s valuation an issue for both sides.
The report adds the Portuguese sides have asked for more than £110million – although any bids over £80m will be taken seriously.
With more firepower an urgent issue for ten Hag, United are also looking into a move for RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku, previously recommended by former interim boss Ralf Rangnick.
The 24-year-old is also on Chelsea’s radar and recently revealed he would ‘think carefully’ about any offers that are forthcoming this summer.
He told Telefoot: ‘It’s no secret there are clubs that are interested in me. Yes, it’s flattering. But it’s also flattering to have a club like Leipzig doing everything to keep me.
