Former Manchester United scout makes Liverpool Jonathan David transfer claim

Jonathan David could move to Liverpool in the future believes former Manchester United scout Jorge Alvial.

The Canada international has shone in Belgium for Gent this season, scoring 23 goals in 40 games including five in the Europa League, had has been linked with the Reds and a number of top European sides as a result.

And Alvial, who left his position as a scout at Old Trafford in 2018, has backed the 20-year-old to play for a top Premier League side in the future, but believes a move might come too soon for David this summer.

"I know Jonathan well and he seems to be doing very well," he told the Manchester Evening News. "I believe he is a very nice young talent and has a great future ahead.

"The Premier League is a tough level to compete because of so many top athletes and great football players.

"I believe Jonathan in the near future has the potential to play in the Premier League, and after a season or two can demonstrate if he is ready for the top teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, Man City or Liverpool."
