Jonathan David Man United Chelsea transfer battle

Manchester United are reportedly interested in Lille striker Jonathan David as a potential option to replace Cristiano Ronaldo in the January transfer window.

The Canada international has established himself as one of the best young strikers in the game in recent times, and it’s easy to imagine him as an ideal fit for Man Utd’s needs at the moment.

The Daily Mirror claims he is one of the options being considered by Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag amid doubts about Ronaldo’s future as he battles for playing time at Old Trafford.

However, it could end up being an intriguing battle over David’s signature, as Jeunes Footeux have also linked Chelsea heavily with him in recent times.

David would also be an important addition to Graham Potter’s side, as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is unlikely to be a particularly long-term option, and Chelsea have an advantage over United in terms of being able to offer Champions League football.

MUFC is also linked with Bayer Leverkusen striker Patrik Schick and Lyon’s Moussa Dembele, according to the Mirror report.
