Highlights : Darwin Núñez When Liverpool were 'battered' by MU
Darwin Nunez's debut with Liverpool when defeated by Manchester United 0-4 in the pre-season match in Bangkok, Thailand, Tuesday (12/7), received a lot of criticism from netizens.
Nunez played for 30 minutes when Liverpool faced Manchester United at the Rajamangala Stadium. At that time Liverpool were 0-3 down, and Nunez's appearance did not bring any change in the Reds' attack.
The striker who was bought by Liverpool from Benfica for a club record transfer of £85 million was fairly active in the game for 30 minutes of the match. However, Darwin's cameo in his first match with Liverpool was criticized by Liverpool fans.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp defended his new star, Darwin Nunez, who appeared bleak against Manchester United in the friendly match in Bangkok.
In that match, the Reds were crushed by the Red Devils four goals without a response. Although this was limited to a friendly match, many fans highlighted the performance of the Uruguay international. Nunez had a good chance from close range. Unfortunately, his shot did not produce a goal.
After the match, there was only criticism directed at him. However, Klopp put the body. According to him, the former Benfica talent will sooner or later show his true qualities. "What you see are players who are already after him," Klopp said in his post-match press conference.
"It was his third session [since arriving for pre-season training], and I judged after the third sprint his lungs were almost ready to explode," Klopp said.
"We almost killed him with these kinds of balls, but he offered to run and the players wanted to pass the ball. That must be one of his strengths. He was dangerous in that game, and other things," the tactician analyzed.
"So Darwin, we'll see. I think his profile is a proper number nine, so that helps for speed and aggression, as well as maximizing his body, and things like that," concluded Klopp.
On 15 July, Liverpool will continue their warm-up by facing Crystal Palace at the Singapore National Stadium.
