Manchester United are making a late move to trump Liverpool for Benfica striker Darwin Nunez.
Liverpool have offered €80m plus €20m in bonuses for Nunez.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is keen to get the deal done as he searches for a Sadio Mane replacement as he is Bayern Munich bound.
But Portuguese reporter Pedro Sepulveda says United aren't ready to give up on signing the Uruguayan.
He told Sky Sports that Red Devils chiefs are set to meet with Nunez's agent Jorge Mendes.
He claims that United will try and find a way to complete a deal for the Benfica star under Liverpool's noses.
The report adds, however, that the player himself has his heart set on Liverpool and is already thinking about playing at Anfield.
