Manchester United Kickstart Talks for Highly Sought-After 23-Year-Old Striker
Canadian Striker Jonathan David Draws Interest from Aston Villa and Manchester United. Jonathan David, the talented Canadian striker, has caught the attention of several clubs, including Aston Villa. Known for his lethal goal-scoring abilities, David ranked third in terms of goals scored in France last season, trailing only Kylian Mbappe and Alexandre Lacazette.
According to reports, Manchester United has held discussions regarding the potential signing of the 23-year-old striker. With an impressive record of 105 goals and 30 assists in 243 appearances for his current club, David’s goal contributions average out to nearly every other game. Manchester United is in need of a player with such numbers and оffensive output to strengthen their аttаck.
As the Red Devils seek to offload players and create space for new signings, they are eager to find a player who can both support Rasmus Hojlund’s development and assume the responsibility of scoring goals. The club has already seen Jadon Sancho depart for Borussia Dortmund on loan, and Hannibal Mejbri is reportedly set to join Sevilla.
Jonathan David’s contract with Lille is set to expire in 2025, making the upcoming summer transfer window crucial for his future. Lille values the young striker at around £43 million and may be willing to let him go for that price. The competition for David’s signature is heating up, with Aston Villa and Manchester United among the clubs vying for his services.
