FALSE REPORT: Jonathan David NOT in London for Manchester United Medical – Star Still a Free Agent as Transfer Talks Continue
Contrary to viral claims, Manchester United have not completed a £110 million deal for Jonathan David, and he is not in London for a medical. While the Canadian striker has drawn strong interest from top clubs, including United, no transfer has been finalized.
Reliable sources confirm that Manchester United have been given a fresh chance to explore signing David, but no agreement has been made. The 25-year-old forward is currently a free agent, following the conclusion of his contract with Lille after the 2024/25 season, making him a major free transfer target across Europe.
David’s impressive record — 77 goals and 25 assists in 136 appearances for Lille over the past three seasons — has made him a hot commodity. Juventus have already submitted an official offer and are considered the current frontrunners, with a decision expected by mid-July, according to Corriere dello Sport. Other clubs such as Barcelona and Napoli are also monitoring the situation.
Although Manchester United have been linked with David in the past, there has been no formal move from the club. Given the high cost of other striker options like Viktor Gyökeres, Victor Osimhen, Benjamin Šeško, and Hugo Ekitike (all priced above £60 million), David represents a more cost-effective and experienced alternative.
With INEOS now playing a key role in United’s recruitment, David’s versatility, intelligent movement, and strong work ethic could make him a good match for manager Erik ten Hag’s style. However, as of now, no deal has been struck, and reports suggesting otherwise are entirely unfounded.
In short, while Jonathan David remains a player of interest, he has not signed with Manchester United, and fans will have to wait and see how the transfer window unfolds.
