'Wake the f*** up Man United!': Red Devils fans fume as Liverpool get set to beat them to £85m Darwin Nunez signing, moaning about 'too slow' and 'joke' transfer policy and predicting 'a pathetic transfer window before another pathetic season'

Manchester United fans have blasted the club on social media after news Liverpool have opened talks to sign United target Darwin Nunez.

Jurgen Klopp's side are ready to smash their transfer record to sign the £85million-rated Benfica striker despite interest from the Red Devils and Atletico Madrid.

New United manager Erik ten Hag is keen to flex the club's muscles in the transfer market, with the Dutchman wanting to overhaul his squad.

But a move for star Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong looks to have broken down, and fans quickly took to social media to criticise the club's transfer policy as a 'joke', 'pathetic', and 'too slow'.
