After so many criticisms for his not-so-good start at Liverpool, the Uruguayan finally showed exactly why the Reds went all out to pay €100m to Benfica for his signature.
It was indeed a one-man show on Thursday night as Liverpool thrashed RB Leipzig 5-0 with Nunez scoring four of the goals.

Erik ten Hag was impressed by 'ATTACKING WEAPONS' at Manchester United
Manchester United fans may have seen enough of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford in the last couple of seasons to give up on them but their new manager, Erik ten Hag, seems not to share that sentiment.
A few weeks after training and watching the duo alongside their younger colleague, Jadon Sancho, the Dutchman has declared that the trio represents an ‘’ATTACKING WEAPON’’ that makes him a happy man.
The trio of Martial, Rashford and Sancho were on target for United again.

"You see they connect really good together and I think when you see that, you are lucky as a manager,” Ten Hag said in a press conference in Perth on Friday morning.
"The team is lucky. We have a threat, we have weapons. We have to improve that every day and develop that further."
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is also a part of the attacking weapons talked about by EtH.

All three have been on fire in the pre-season so far for the Red Devils, Martial has three goals to his name, and Rashford and Sancho have two goals apiece.

The 38-year-old is primed to miss the 2022 tour but while that is a bit of a concern for most United fans, his absence and possible departure from the club, the manager believes otherwise.
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly been offered to at least five clubs so far this summer

"Of course. Maybe concerning is not the right word, I focus on the players who are there, and they are doing really well. They are in good shape. I have further focus on developing that and I cannot wait to see him coming in and then we will integrate him."
