One name widely rumoured to be near the top of Manchester United’s shopping list is Canada striker Jonathan David.
The Lille forward has been in scintillating form for his club this season, scoring 20 goals in all competitions and playing a key role in propelling them up the Ligue 1 standings and into Champions League contention.
That alone would be enough to turn heads in his direction, but the announcement that he will be leaving the French side on a free transfer this summer has sparked even greater interest in securing his signature.
If reports are to be believed, Manchester United are among the frontrunners in that race.
David Astill’s tactical analysis will examine what David would bring to Amorim’s side if he were persuaded to move to Old Trafford.
The Jonathan David scout report will examine his individual traits and compare him to their current striking options.

Last summer, Freiburg lost their legendary coach, Christian Streich.
The 59-year-old had been with the club since 1995–starting with the U-19 team before taking over the senior side in 2011.
Under Streich, Freiburg achieved some remarkable results: They won the 2. Bundesliga title in 2015-16, were promoted back to the Bundesliga, finished in the top five, reached the DFB-Pokal final, qualified for the Champions League, and made a Europa League last-16 appearance.
These are huge achievements for a club of the calibre of Freiburg, which doesn’t have a glamorous history and comes from a small town.
So, when Streich decided to retire rather than continue as Freiburg’s coach, there was a lot of talk about the club’s future because it is hard to replace a legendary manager who has led a club so successfully for such a long time.
When Freiburg decided to appoint Julian Schuster as his successor in March 2024, another question was asked.
Schuster is well-known within the club.
He’s a former player who has been a member of the coaching staff under Streich and has occasionally stepped in when Streich has needed to be replaced.
However, he doesn’t really have any professional experience as a club manager.
This season is his first in charge of Freiburg, a team with a good reputation in the Bundesliga, and he’ll have to replace the legendary Streich.
The pressure is no joke.
But so far this season, Schuster has shown that he can handle the pressure.
Bergas Brillanto’s tactical analysis will explain Julian Schuster tactics at SC Freiburg in the 2024/25 Bundesliga.
