It's time for the Red Devils to bolster their front line and other areas following a rough season, and Nunez appears like a great fit after a successful season in Portugal's top division.
This season, the 22-year-old Uruguayan international has scored 31 goals in 36 appearances in all competitions, attracting to attention from Manchester United and Arsenal.
For roughly €80 million, Darwin Nez will be released from Benfica this summer. A number of elite teams will now meet with him as a result of his new agent's efforts.
As Fabrizio Romano tweets below, Nunez is poised to depart Benfica this summer, with a transaction believed to cost €80m, or £66m.
Darwin was a target for Arsenal in January, but he was not for sale at West Ham. Manchester United had previously explored his name internally.
Nunez may be a long-term successor for Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani, as well as an improvement for the likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, if he joins Manchester United.
It's a good idea for Manchester United to acquire Nunez before Arsenal does, considering the Gunners are unlikely to be able to deliver Champions League football next season.
