Manchester United could reportedly strike a deal with Lille to sign Jonathan David this month.

That’s according to Football Transfers, with the outlet claiming that both Man United and Aston Villa are keen on the Lille forward.

Erik ten Hag will undoubtedly be keen to bolster his attacking options this month United have struggled in the final third this season, having only netted 22 times in 20 Premier League games.

The likes of Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Antony and Rasmus Hojlund have all struggled to make an impact this term.

The Red Devils had been linked with a move for RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner but look set to miss out to Tottenham.

And it seems they could switch their focus to landing Lille’s Jonathan David instead.

Man United want to sign David

Football Transfers reports that United and Villa are both ‘very interested’ in signing David this month.

It’s noted that the striker has made it clear to Lille that he’s eager to seek out a fresh challenge.

Indeed, the outlet claims that a deal could be struck with either United or Villa, with both clubs searching for a new striker.

United also expressed an interest in the Canadian forward over the summer as they searched for alternatives to Harry Kane.

David enjoyed an impressive campaign last time out as he netted 24 times in Ligue 1.

The 24-year-old has already registered 10 goals and six assists in all competitions this season.

He’s been labelled as an ‘elite’ forward and boasts exceptional pace. Indeed, Ligue 1’s stats ranked David as the third-fastest player in France at the start of the campaign.

Previously valued at around £51 million, it remains unclear just how much it will take to tempt Lille into cashing in this month.

United are desperate for attacking reinforcements but you’d imagine they will have to offload at least one of Ten Hag’s options first.

Jadon Sancho seems to be edging closer towards a switch back to Dortmund, which could clear the decks for a signing like David.
