Davide is a 24-year-old American striker who signed a one-year deal with the club in August 2009.

Born and raised in South Africa, Davide's footballing experience includes two spells in America - one alongside Darren Huckerby for San Jose Earthquakes - and one in Italy.

He joined United on trial during the summer and made a big impression, scoring in behind-closed-doors games against Newcastle and Hull.

He followed that by scoring twice on his debut for the club's reserve side against Rotherham at Elland Road on September 8.
