Diego Forlan has insisted Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez will 'learn a lot' with Jurgen Klopp as his manager amid the 23-year-old's encouraging start to life in the Premier League.
Nunez will line up for Uruguay alongside ex-Liverpool star Luis Suarez as the South American side bid for glory at the World Cup in Qatar.
Fellow countryman Forlan thinks Nunez has had a 'good' start to life at Liverpool since his move from Benfica, but is expecting to see improvement.

Liverpool paid £64 million to the Portuguese side for Nunez in June, but that fee could rise to a club-record £85m if all add-ons are met. Forlan believes this price has put expectations up for Nunez.
"I think it's good. Of course, everybody was expecting more goals maybe because of the amount of money they paid for him," Forlan told talkSPORT ahead of the World Cup. "I think it's good, he's been scoring goals, he's playing.
"Now also the team is struggling a little bit because in the Premier League they are not doing what they were doing the last couple of years, but he has a great manager, very experienced.
"He will learn a lot with him and with the players. He's doing his job, of course, he can improve and he will improve in the future."
