Canadian Internationa Jonathan David has given a huge transfer hint amid all the links with Manchester United.
After spending time at various academies in Ottawa, Jonathan David joined Belgian club Gent.
David then made his professional debut for Gent and soon began to show his talent in front of goal. His consistency earned him a spot on the Canadian national team. In 2019, David was named Canadian Soccer Player of the Year.
Following this, Jonathan David joined Ligue 1 club Lille when the French club paid Gent €30m. In his first season with the club, the Canadian international won the Ligue 1 title, ending Paris Saint-Germain’s dominance. Since then he is one of the mainstays of the French team.
Jonathan David to Manchester United?
Canadian international Jonathan David has had a great start to the season. The Lille striker has already scored nine goals and is in the running for the golden boot. And now, recently, the striker expressed that he wants to play for a bigger club.
While speaking to Sky Sports, Jonathan David said: “Yeah, you know, for me, I was always watching European football on TV. So for me that was always the goal. For me it was, I just wanted to go to Europe.”
He also added: “The next step is always to grow, to have more ambition, I think a bigger club. Every player wants to play for a massive club in his life. So I think if he had the opportunity to do it, for sure he would.
English Premier League giants Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing the Canadian international in the January transfer window. Now, recently, David’s words have fueled this news.
Manchester United are having problems with the forward position. Since the arrival of ten Hag, Cristiano Ronaldo was mostly on the bench. And even when he was in the field, he seemed like a shadow of his earlier days.
Things took a turn for the worse in Tottenham’s match when he stormed off the pitch even before the end of the match. As a result, Ronaldo was removed from the Manchester United team that played against Chelsea. Ronaldo’s relationship with the club is at its lowest point.
The Portuguese will mostly leave the club in the coming month of January. Then there is French international Anthony Martial, who is suffering from injuries. So United are looking for plenty of strikers before the January window.
Now that David has made his intentions clear, the Red Devils are expected to soon make a move for the Canadian international.
