Manchester United Complete £110M Signing as Star Flies into London for Medical — Eyes Still on Jonathan David Amid Juventus Delay
Manchester United have taken a bold step in the summer transfer market, finalizing a marquee £110 million signing. The club has agreed to a five-year contract through 2030, and the player has now touched down in London to complete his medical before an official announcement. The move underscores United’s ambition to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
Yet United’s summer plans might not end there. They continue to monitor Canadian forward Jonathan David, who has delayed his decision on a contract offer from Juventus. The 25-year-old is expected to wait until mid-July before making up his mind — potentially allowing United to jump in with a counteroffer.
David has built a formidable reputation in Europe as one of the most prolific and underrated strikers around. Playing for Lille, he’s showcased his talent with consistent goals and assists. Last season, he scored 25 goals and provided 12 assists. The year before, he struck 26 goals with 9 assists, and in the season prior to that, 26 goals and 4 assists. Altogether, his record of 77 goals and 25 assists in 136 games speaks to his deadly finishing, creative play, and tireless work rate.
Out of contract with Lille, David is eager for a new challenge and has attracted considerable interest. While Barcelona previously expressed interest, it’s Italian giants Napoli and Juventus who have led the chase. Juventus have already offered him a deal, but David is stalling — which may open the door for other clubs. Corriere dello Sport reports that he’ll make his decision by mid-July.
That gives United a critical six-week window to make their move. Given the soaring prices for top-class forwards — with names like Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyökeres, Benjamin Šeško, and Hugo Ekitike all valued above £60 million — David could prove a smart, cost-effective addition. If United choose to act, he could become a vital part of Erik ten Hag’s ongoing rebuild up front.
