David Andrés Monsalve (born December 21, 1988) is a Canadian former professional soccer player who played as a goalkeeper and who currently serves as goalkeeper coach for Toronto FC II.
Club career
=Toronto FC=
He was brought in during the 2007 season by Toronto FC as an injury relief player, as he was signed as an MLS Pool goalkeeper. Monsalve made his MLS and professional debut on July 29 against the Chicago Fire. He is one of the youngest goalkeepers to play a game in the MLS. He was also the goalkeeper in a friendly against Aston Villa a couple of days earlier. Although both games were lost by TFC he impressed both his manager and the fans with his abilities. His MLS rights are held by Toronto FC. On July 27 he was called up for the game against New York Red Bulls. He also joined FC Dallas on an emergency basis, but did not play.{{Cite web|url=https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2011/01/28/tfc-trial-6-new-faces-during-trip-turkey|title=TFC to trial 6 new faces during trip to Turkey|date=January 28, 2011|first=Duane|last=Rollins|work=Major League Soccer}}
