The occasional Macedonian national team player signed a 1+1 year contract with the 115-year-old club, with the second year to be automatically activated if the club is satisfied with his performances. David comes from Hungarian side Mezőkövesd.

“David’s pedigree is unquestionable, having enjoyed a footballing education second to none with Barcelona,” commented Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin.

“I’m deeply grateful for the trust the club has placed in me. I was patiently waiting for this to be finalized, and delayed the response to other offers in the process because I’ve been eagerly awaiting an opportunity such as this. Coming to a country where the football culture is massive and the standard of the league is high are some of the things that enticed me, and I can already feel the magnitude of the club. It’s going to be a great challenge for me – the expectations for this season are high, as they should be, and we have to believe we can do something special,” are David’s first words in the tangerine jersey.

Babunski in Dundee United will wear the shirt with number 10. He will be teammate with the offensive wing Kristijan Trapanovski, who recently joined the club coming from Macedonian top flight side Shkupi.

Dundee United returned to the Scottish elite after finishing 1st in the Scottish Championship last season. They have one title champions of Scotland from the 1982/83 season, when the legendary Jim McLean sat on the bench. They also have two Scottish Cups won in 1993/94 and 2009/10.

David has 15 appearances for Macedonia so far, but in recent times he was unused sub or he wasn’t summoned at all by coach Blagoja Milevski. back in 2017 he did play an important role for Macedonia U21 at the EURO in Poland.
