The 23-year-old Uruguay international striker scored two goals.

Encouraging

In our view, Darwin Nunez will be very happy with his two goals for Liverpool against Manchester United at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday.

True, the striker was not at his best in the first half, but he stepped up his game in the second period.

Nunez took his two goals extremely well.

As Keane notes, the youngster is not having the best of seasons, but he is only 23.

Nunez will develop and become a big player for Liverpool in the coming years.
