Manchester United transfer target Jonathan David opens up about a potential move to the Premier League.
This winter, the club looks to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, who left last month after his contract was terminated by mutual consent.
Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford seem like the obvious choices to start at the top, but both players will most likely always start.
The need for a substitute striker, or even a striker who can fight for his place in the starting eleven, is important ahead of the January transfer window.
The 22-year-old has shone for club Lille, scoring 41 goals in all competitions since his arrival in 2020.
David has been a rumored transfer target for some time at the club and could be about to become the main target after Cody Gakpo’s unexpected move to Liverpool.
Goal reports on the interview conducted by La Voix du Nord where David shares his opinion on the Premier League.
“I don’t know, I think it’s possible, very possible. I don’t know if I can find myself anywhere other than the Premier League.”
“It could well be the Premier League. It’s a very nice environment.”
“In England, when I watch the games, everything is full every time.”
“As a player, it motivates you even more.”
Erik ten Hag has made it clear that Man United need to get it right by finding Ronaldo’s replacement.
In recent seasons forwards have not had a successful career at the club, often leaving the following year or failing to impress the manager.
At Ajax, Ten Hag had a brilliant setup and will certainly want to emulate that team structure in England.
David wants to break Eden Hazard’s Lille goalscoring record before leaving for a new league.
Lille manager Paulo Fonseca has admitted that it will be difficult to keep the Canadian international beyond this season.
“It will be difficult to keep Jonathan David at the club next season.
There are not many strikers with his skills and numbers in Europe and he is only 22 years old.
While a winter transfer window has not yet been ruled out, a summer transfer seems the most likely option due to budget constraints.
