If they failed to acquire Erling Haaland, Manchester City considered signing him, as they had shown an interest in him as well.

Haaland was signed by City a month ago.

According to a report on Thursday, United prioritised the signing of a centralMidfielder over engaging in a battle with the other team for the same player.

"Nunez is really good and has a big career ahead of him, that's what I said after the game," said the coach.

The best goal of his career has been chosen by Nunez, who is currently on international duty, but has remained tight-lipped about his future.
