Manchester United is facing significant challenges this season. The team currently occupies the 14th position in the English Premier League, having accumulated only three points. They have suffered two losses in their first three matches, with just one victory to their name.

The Red Devils have bolstered their midfield and defense by acquiring Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, and Manuel Ugarte. Attention now turns to enhancing their offensive line, as their strikers have yet to display promising form.

However, their counterparts Arsenal are reportedly planning to hijack one of the United’s potential targets in the winter transfer window that is to open at the end of this year.

Arsenal willing to spend big money for roping in Jonathan David

According to a report by the Italian news outlet Tuttojuve, Arsenal are likely to make a big move in order to sign the striker Jonathan David from French club Lille. The same report suggests that the Gunners are ready to offer the 24-year-old Canadian Striker a contract worth 6 million euros per season, while he currently earns £32,208-per-week at his current club in France.

While Mikel Arteta and co. already feature a strong attacking lineup consisting of players like Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling, David’s potential arrival could be a big boost for them.

Regarding Manchester United’s prospects, Erik Ten Hag and his team are urgently seeking a striker capable of consistently scoring goals, as they face significant turmoil. If the current situation persists, it could jeopardize not only the former Ajax manager’s position but also the club’s future.

The players from Old Trafford will face Southampton in their next fixture on September 14. It will be interesting to see how they fare as they proceed to the next phase of European football.
