On Monday, we covered a claim from France that despite interest from Manchester United in João Félix, the Red Devils were looking at a different profile of player.
While the Portuguese would certainly bring some attacking impetus to Erik ten Hag’s team, he isn’t an out and out striker, which is what the Dutchman wants.
Everyone is aware of the Cristiano Ronaldo situation, and as soon as the Manchester United icon leaves his club, he will need to be replaced, which is where Jonathan David could come in.
The Canada international was listed by Jeunes Footeux as one of three players Ten Hag preferred over Félix, and the idea that the Red Devils could want the Lille star continues to be pushed on Tuesday.
The latest comes from French journalist Ignazio Genuardi, who took to Twitter to explain that among the clubs that are following David ‘closely’, we can find Manchester United.
As they are looking for a striker, it’s said the Premier League side ‘strongly appreciate the profile’ of the 22-year-old, who is ‘regularly monitored’ by the Old Trafford residents.
Something to keep in mind as we edge towards the January transfer window, although you would expect the need for Ronaldo to be sold first before any move would be made, meaning next summer might be Manchester United’s best bet.
Au rayon des clubs qui suivent de près le Lillois J.#David, on retrouve notamment #Manchester #United. En quête d’un nouvel avant-centre, les Red Devils apprécient fortement le profil du buteur canadien, qui est régulièrement supervisé. #Mercato #LOSC
