Will Jonathan David stay at Juventus in 2026-27?

Canada star Jonathan David has had ups and downs in his first season at Juventus, but this doesn’t mean the Bianconeri will try to sell him in the summer.

David joined Juventus on a free transfer from Lille last summer and was the very first purchase completed by Damien Comolli.

David had made a name for himself in France, scoring 109 in 232 matches with Lille and becoming arguably the most popular football player in Canada. His transfer to Juventus only boosted his reputation back home, and even if he’s been unable to fully replicate his goal-scoring form in his first season in Italy, there have also been positive signs that Juventus and their coach Luciano Spalletti won’t ignore as they prepare for the 2026-27 season.

Some stats suggest that the 26-year-old is finally finding his footing, a reminder that in football, as anywhere else, nothing is ever guaranteed. This unpredictable nature of the game is exactly what draws fans to the thrill of chance. For those who love that rush, luckyhills-ca.com offers an incredible variety of casino games where luck can turn in an instant.

David has scored eight goals and provided five assists in 42 matches with the Old Lady this term. Quite far from the 20-goal mark he was accustomed to in France, yet over ten goal contributions in his first season in Serie A, probably the toughest league in Europe from a defensive standpoint, means Juventus might continue to rely on the Canadian in the future.

A recent report from Tuttosport has suggested that Juventus coach Spalletti, who has extended his contract until 2028, might offer David more time to settle in by testing him in the summer pre-season, when Juventus will travel to Hong Kong and Australia for friendly encounters.

“For me, I think it’s been up and down. I came to a new club with high hopes, high expectations, and obviously, I wasn’t scoring as regularly as I wanted to,” David told TSN earlier this month.

“Maybe sometimes people don’t understand you, people don’t really know you so they tend to judge you but that doesn’t really matter because you have people that are close to you, who care for you, who understand the way you are so I’m not really worried about that.”

David also played down rumours that he does not have a good relationship with part of the dressing room.

“I don’t know how or why that rumour came out, but obviously I know it wasn’t true because I’m in the dressing room with these guys, we get along very well,” he insisted.

This was particularly evident in January when David scored and assisted in Juventus’ 3-0 win over Bergamo. Only a few days earlier, David had awkwardly missed a penalty kick in a home draw against Lecce, but when he found the net against Sassuolo, all Juventus players ran towards him to hug him.

How Manchester United could line up vs Liverpool

Man Utd have some long-term injuries such as Matthijs de Ligt and Patrick Dorgu, but should otherwise be close to full strength for this game.

Michael Carrick has often opted to leave Benjamin Sesko on the bench, but he does occasionally start and this could be a good game for him against a suspect Liverpool defence.

Man Utd predicted line up: Lammens; Dalot, Shaw, Maguire, Yoro; Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes; Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko.

How Liverpool could line up vs Manchester United

Arne Slot will be without Hugo Ekitike as a long-term injury absentee, but he can at least welcome Alexander Isak back after a disrupted season. In goal, Giorgi Mamardashvili has been filling in for Alisson Becker, but now the Georgian shot-stopper is also out, while the Brazilian is set to return just in time.

LFC have a few other options to think about, such as starting Jeremie Frimpong, Joe Gomez, or Dominik Szoboszlai at right-back, while it’s debatable if Mohamed Salah still deserves to be starting regularly, especially in a big game like this.

Liverpool predicted line up: Alisson; Gomez, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Wirtz, Isak.

Manchester United vs Liverpool head-to-head record

Man United and Liverpool have a long-standing rivalry, having first played each other all the way back in 1894.

Since then, it’s the Red Devils who have the slight upper hand with 92 wins, but it’s pretty close as there have also been 82 victories for the Merseysiders and 71 draws.

In more recent times, however, Liverpool have enjoyed some memorable wins in this fixture, such as winning 5-0 at Old Trafford in 2021, as well as that famous 7-0 victory at Anfield in 2023.

How Cruijff’s words helped Milan win 1994 Champions League

Johan Cruijff will forever be remembered as one of the best players and coaches of all time, but back in 1994, his Barcelona side underestimated Milan, who secured an historic 4-0 victory in the Champions League Final.

Forget the last 15 years during which Milan have failed to leave their mark on the Champions League: the Serie A giants remain one of the most successful clubs in the competition, having lifted the trophy seven times. Only Real Madrid have more with 15.

Back in the days, Milan were the team to beat as they reached three consecutive Champions League Finals from 1993 to 1995.

On May 18, 1984, they won the fifth Champions League in their history, beating Cruyff’s Barcelona 4-0 in Athens.

On the eve of the game, the Catalans’ coach looked beyond confident, telling the media: “Barcelona are favourites. We’re more complete, competitive and experienced than [in the 1992 final] at Wembley. Milan are nothing out of this world. They base their game on defence; we base ours on attack.”

Barcelona had already won the Champions League (European Cup) in 1992, beating Sampdoria at Wembley Stadium.

Back then, it was already possible to gamble on football matches, but nowadays, an overview of the latest betting bonuses massively helps football fans spot the best offers, especially the wagering rules and limits, so they can make smarter, more confident bets.

Cruijff’s words surely produced a positive effect in the Milan squad, as Marcel Desailly, one of the legendary players of that Rossoneri team, said in a recent interview with the Italian Football Podcast.

“His words helped a lot. The coach didn’t give the speech at the hotel but in the dressing room, with the assistant coach who had a copy of the newspaper with the quote that we were crap,” said the former France defender.

“What are you talking about? We had Donadoni, Albertini, Savicevic and me all international players. So, saying that Milan wasn’t anything special as we were about to win the Serie A, really motivated us.

“Capello and his assistants were very, very smart by giving us the adrenaline to make the difference. Barcelona was a bit deluded in their motivation. Because they had already won La Liga a couple of weeks earlier.

“So, automatically their adrenaline had dropped, so to bring back into the system the motivation back against a Milan that was like a wolf, they couldn’t make it. And also, with an amazing Marcel Desailly, they couldn’t make it [laughs].”

The last time Milan won the Champions League was in 2007, again in Athens, but against Liverpool, with Carlo Ancelotti in charge.
