Jonathan David is edging closer to his Lille exit amid links to Manchester United and an array of other clubs around Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to be a busy summer transfer window for Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim<\/a> has been tasked with turning things around at Old Trafford<\/a> after a turbulent campaign. United finished 15th in the Premier League<\/a> table and won\u2019t have any European football next season as a result of losing the Europa League<\/a> final 1-0 against Tottenham.<\/p>\n

This means Amorim will be trying to use the transfer window to strengthen his squad ahead of the 2025\/26 campaign. United confirmed the signing of Matheus Cunha<\/a> at the beginning of the transfer window and could add Bryan Mbeumo<\/a> in the coming days if talks with Brentford progress.<\/p>\n

There will be room for another attacking signing because United have yet to sign a striker. It\u2019s unlikely that they will pass on the opportunity after watching Rasmus Hojlund<\/a> struggle to lead the line over the past two seasons.<\/p>\n

United have been linked with moves for an array of strikers, including Viktor Gyokeres<\/a> and Victor Osimhen<\/a>, but both players would cost a significant amount of money and possibly take up most of Amorim\u2019s transfer kitty.<\/p>\n

That is why it would be na\u00efve to rule out cheaper options after missing out on Liam Delap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It says a lot that United can still attract top players in Europe without Champions League<\/a> football.<\/p>\n

United have been mentioned as being interested in the Lille striker for years, but that interest has reportedly intensified with the Canada international\u2019s contract set to expire later this month.<\/p>\n

If it were up to David, he would prefer a move to one of three clubs, including United, this summer.<\/p>\n

That is according to Friday\u2019s edition of Corriere dello Sport, as cited by Sport Witness<\/a>, claiming that the 25-year-old would like to join United, Barcelona or Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n

Those three clubs are believed to be David\u2019s priorities ahead of a summer exit away from Lille.<\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s understood that David\u2019s preference is to make a switch to the Premier League.<\/p>\n

That makes United frontrunners in the eyes of the Italian press, but the Red Devils have yet to make any contact with the player or his representatives.<\/p>\n

It was another strong season for David on an individual note.<\/p>\n

Lille finished 5th in Ligue 1, just one point off third-placed Monaco.<\/p>\n

David made 32 appearances in the league, scoring 16 goals and registering 5 assists.<\/p>\n
