Nunez is currently one of the most sought-after young strikers in world football, after an astonishing season in which he scored 34 goals in 41 appearances.
United has been strongly associated with Nunez in recent months, whereby Ten Hag is considered a big fan of the Benfica star.
The youngster impressed in the Champions League this season, scoring goals in both quarter-finals against Liverpool, a brace against Barcelona and also found the back of the net against Barcelona and Ajax.
However, Nunez’s desire to enter the Champions League could diminish United’s chances of landing him during the summer transfer window.
