Man Utd now want to sign 25-year-old striker, 23 goals & 10 assists this season | OneFootball

Manchester United have had a difficult Premier League campaign, picking up just 37 points after 29 games.

They have scored only 37 with nine matches remaining, and manager Ruben Amorim will be desperate for a solution this summer.

Tuttojuve claims that United are monitoring Jonathan David alongside nine more clubs.

The Canadian star is contracted to Lille until the end of June. The striker can negotiate a pre-contract for a free transfer.

David would be a brilliant signing on a free

The 25-year-old has been linked with a Premier League move for the past few seasons.

Lille’s asking price has proved a stumbling block. David’s contract expires this summer, so he can now decide on his future.

David has previously admitted his desire to play in the Premier League, and United should capitalise and bring him to Old Trafford on a Bosman deal.

The former Gent ace has been in superb form this term, registering 23 goals and 10 assists across all competitions.

He has shown his big-game potential with a tremendous Champions League campaign.

David made 14 appearances in the competition from the qualifiers. He tallied nine goals and four assists in Europe.

This should attract plenty of high-profile interest. United must be proactive and negotiate a pre-contract deal ahead of other Premier League suitors.

Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have also been mentioned as admirers. United won’t have an easy task of signing him.

David would be a quality competitor to Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, who have netted just six league goals this season.

The Canadian is versatile and can play as an attacking midfielder if required. He has made almost 50 appearances in the role during his career.
