HISTORICAL FACTS: Lille boss makes jonathan david transfer admission amid manchester united links | History Defined

Lille manager Paulo Fonseca has admitted that "it will be difficult" to keep Jonathan David at the Ligue 1 side amid links with a potential move to Manchester United.

The Ligue 1 striker was one of the stars that Canada had pinned their slim hopes on to help them get out of their World Cup group last month, yet the 22-year-old failed to find the net on all three occasions for his home nation.

The lack of goals are by no means a true reflection in David's ability, and Erik ten Hag may well be secretly pleased that the forward failed to score should he be keen on bringing him to Old Trafford, as he avoids potentially having to pay an inflated transfer fee off the back of a fine international tournament.
