Reported Manchester United target Jonathan David has claimed that he was inspired by Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema and pointed out the similarities in their games.<\/p>\n
David, 23, currently plies his trade for LOSC Lille and has had a prolific 2022-23 campaign. He has scored 21 goals and provided four assists in 30 games across competitions.<\/p>\n
Manchester United<\/a>, who are on the lookout for a striker, have been linked with a move for David (via Caught Offside<\/em>). The Canadian, meanwhile, recently shared his admiration for Real Madrid talisman Benzema.<\/p>\n In an interview with Winamax<\/em>, he said:<\/p>\n “I became a pro to score goals, I didn’t want to defend. I always had the ability to score and I had fun doing it. I didn’t want to stop. In training, you work on automatisms with your partners to have relationships, but in matches, it’s instinct that speaks. It happens so quickly that you don’t have time to think.” <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n He added:<\/p>\n “I’m learning a lot from Karim Benzema. I like his game a lot and he’s getting closer to mine. I like to participate in the game a lot and go down and touch the ball. It’s important for me, even though I’m a striker and I always want to score.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
