Man United want Japanese goalkeeper, waiting for Jonathan David for free
Man United under coach Ruben Amorim are gradually stabilizing and returning to transfer targets.
Although they may not be as active in January due to financial issues, the Red Devils are still keeping an eye on potential targets. Notably, Man United are interested in Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, who has rejected them in the past. Besides, they also have the opportunity to recruit Jonathan David from Lille on a free next summer.
United approached Suzuki when he was at Urawa Red Diamonds, but the 22-year-old turned down the offer because he did not want to be a backup to Andre Onana. However, Suzuki's impressive performances for Parma have brought him back into United's sights. Parma value the Japanese goalkeeper at £40m, a figure United are unlikely to pay in January. However, a fine performance from reserve goalkeeper Altay Bayindir in the FA Cup win over Arsenal has also helped ease concerns about the Red Devils' goalkeeping position.
As well as the goalkeeper, United are also interested in Lille striker Jonathan David, whose contract expires in the summer. The Canadian has scored 11 goals in 17 Ligue 1 appearances this season and has also scored four goals in the Champions League. United will have to compete with Juventus for David's signature. Getting Jonathan David on a free transfer would be a huge addition to the squad.
