Manchester United have started internal talks about signing Lille striker Jonathan David.
The Canadian striker is currently being chased by a number of clubs, with Aston Villa being one of them.
David has shown how lethal he can be in front of goal, with the striker scoring the third most goals in France last season, only behind Kylian Mbappe and Alexander Lacazette.
According to 90min (h/t Express), Man United have discussed the possibility of signing the 23-year old striker.
In his 243 appearances for the club, the Canadian striker has managed to score 105 goals and provided 30 assists. That represents a goal contribution in every other game. United need someone with such numbers and output in their attack.
Rasmus Hojlund has only managed to score one goal in the Premier League this season in 15 appearances. The Red Devils are desperate to have someone upfront who can help Hojlund develop into a better player while also taking over the responsibility of scoring goals.
Man United are currently looking to offload players and make room for news ones either to be signed in January or the summer. Jadon Sancho has already left the club and joined Borussia Dortmund in a loan move. Hannibal Mejbri is another player who is reportedly heading out of the club and joining Sevilla.
For David, too, the summer will be very important because his contract expires in 2025. The young striker is estimated to be worth around £43 million to Lille and the French club would be willing to let him go for that price.
