Man Utd ‘seriously considering’ signing 169-goal striker in ultimate bargain deal



It has been reported that Manchester United are considering making a bid to acquire a striker who will soon become a free agent and who has scored around one goal per two games during his whole career. However, the club is aware that they will be up against fierce competition from a European powerhouse at this time.


A peek of what Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system and tactical demands are capable of has been demonstrated by Manchester United over the course of the past eight days.



Arsenal was eliminated from the FA Cup after Arsenal played to a 2-2 draw at Anfield, which was a morale-boosting match. It was despite the fact that United had been without a player for more than an hour.



However, in order to bring out the full potential of Amorim’s management, it is necessary to acquire players that are more suited to his system. A powerful striker and wing-backs who are able to have an effect on the game on both sides of the ball are both essential components.

Since joining the club from Atalanta, Rasmus Hojlund has scored around one goal in every three games, totalling 23 goals in 67 appearances with the club. Following a sluggish beginning in England, Joshua Zirkzee is still being evaluated by the jury.



And according to a recent update from TuttoJuve, Manchester United are reportedly evaluating a striker who is a clinical player and is expected to be on the move during the summer of 2019.


“Striker Jonathan David, whose contract with Lille expires at the end of this season, represents a golden opportunity for Manchester United, who are seriously considering the option of making a move for the Les Dogues hitman,” the source added. “They are considering the possibility of making a move for the attacker.”

Considering that Jonathan David is a member of the Canadian national team and is also a player that Juventus is interested in, it appears that there will be a fierce competition for his services.

To Manchester United, Jonathan David?
Over the course of his 353 senior appearances for both his club and his nation (Gent, Lille, Canada), David has scored 169 goals.

His time with Lille is coming to an end, despite the fact that the 24-year-old striker has been one of the most dangerous attackers in Ligue 1 over the course of the past four and a half years.

As was said, David’s current contract will expire during the summer of next year. A renewal offer has been extended to David by Lille; but, according to Fabrizio Romano, it is anticipated that David would decline the conditions and depart the club as a free agent at the conclusion of the current season.

Despite the fact that Lille is fully aware of David’s ambitions, the club is not ready to authorise his leave in the middle of the season. The fact that they will lose the frontman for no reason in half a year is not going to stop them from doing this.

To this end, it is incumbent upon clubs who are interested in the player to make an effort to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with the player. Due to the fact that David has entered the final six months of his contract, teams have the opportunity to seek to sign him at this very moment.

There is no doubt that the possibility of signing a striker who can score one goal in two games without having to pay a transfer price is an encouraging one.

In addition to Manchester United and Juventus, other clubs—including Tottenham, Liverpool, and Marseille—have also been mentioned in the media as potential candidates.

Other news includes the fact that Manchester United made fun of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta following the FA Cup match that took place on Sunday.

Through their X account, Manchester United made fun of Arteta for his recent complaints about the Carabao Cup ball, which he blamed for Arsenal’s poor finishing. Arteta’s criticisms were on the ball.

As a result of the Gunners’ failure to capitalise on several opportunities during their loss to United in a penalty shootout on Sunday, the Red Devils couldn’t help but send a humorous tweet at Arteta’s expense.

In other news, SportItalia reports that Napoli have made a decision to sign Alejandro Garnacho as their best alternative for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The personal details of the Georgian winger have been agreed upon with Paris Saint-Germain, and if the transfer is finalised, he would get a salary that is more than four times his present pay.

Napoli is requesting €80 million for the sale of Kvaratskhelia, and manager Antonio Conte has given his team the responsibility of acquiring Garnacho in order to fill the upcoming gap on the left wing side of the pitch.

United is willing to sell Garnacho, but only if the correct price is offered, and they are not actively trying to get the 20-year-old player to go because of his contract.
