Depending on who you believe, some journos have rubbished the 'fight' for Nunez by Utd. They claim that yes, Utd had some initial talks early but all the rumours flying after that were Benfica trying to create a bidding war. Even to the extent that Ten Hag flying out to meet Mendes/Nunez was fake news.
Might be sour grapes after losing out, but I dun think the journos or publications were pro-Utd.
Anyway, it was always a long shot, without UCL to offer. Even remaining at Benfica, he had a chance for UCL as they are in the playoffs.
