Deadline day key events
David update: Lille president addresses future of Man United, Barca-linked striker
Lille president Olivier Letang has ruled out a January departure for Jonathan David, as the French outfit battle to convince the in-demand centre-forward to sign a new contract at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
David, 24, has again been in impressive form for Lille during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring 13 goals and registering two assists in 19 appearances, including four goals in four outings in the league phase of the Champions League.
Including the qualifying rounds, David has six goals and two assists in eight European matches this term, while he has found the back of the net on seven occasions in 11 Ligue 1 appearances.
David's contract with Lille is due to expire next June, though, and there is currently widespread speculation surrounding his future, with a number of the world's biggest clubs said to be interested.
Revealed! What is Man United's main transfer priority under Amorim?
Manchester United are allegedly planning to sign a new left-back next year, with an incoming in that area of the field during the January transfer window regarded as a possibility.
New Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim is widely expected to implement a 3-4-3 system at Old Trafford, having had huge success with that formation at Sporting Lisbon.
Man United have again had left-back issues this season due to the absences of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, but the pair are both now back to fitness at a crucial stage of the campaign.
Shaw has returned to training after recovering from a calf issue, while Malacia played 45 minutes for Man United Under-21s in the EFL Trophy against Huddersfield Town last week - his first appearance since May 2023.
Reunion at Man United: Amorim 'has spoken' to Sporting star over 2025 transfer
New Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has reportedly spoken to Sporting Lisbon centre-back Ousmane Diomande about a possible move to Old Trafford next year.
Amorim insisted in the latter stages of his time as Sporting manager that he would not be raiding his former club in January, but he refused to rule out incomings from the Green and Whites next summer.
Viktor Gyokeres and Geovany Quenda are currently being heavily linked with moves to Old Trafford, but there have also been claims of firm interest from the Red Devils in central defender Diomande.
According to Sky Sport Switzerland, Amorim has spoken with Diomande about a potential move to Manchester, with the new Red Devils head coach desperate not to miss out on his signature.
