Manchester United's manager, Erik ten Hag, pulls out of the race for Benfica's Striker, Darwin Nunez, shifting focus to other key areas on the pitch.

Manchester United are on the verge of missing out on primary striker target Darwin Núñez after months of talks with the agent of the Uruguay player.
