“Come play for Man United” – Man United sends shocking Karim Benzema transfer message out of the blue amid search for new forward in January transfer

“Come play for Man United” is the unexpected message that Man United sends to Karim Benzema as they look to add a new forward in the January transfer window.
Despite receiving a huge salary in Saudi Arabia, 2022 Ballon d’Or winner Louis Saha believes the striker would be a perfect fit at Old Trafford.

Despite the fact that French striker Karim Benzema only moved to Saudi Arabia last summer, Manchester United has been urged to make an unexpected January move for the former Ballon d’Or winner.

The club is being urged to make an unexpected move by Benzema’s compatriot and former United player, Erik ten Hag, who is in dire need of a reliable goal scorer to help turn around United’s miserable season.

This is true even though it’s thought that United must stay within the financial fair play guidelines and cannot spend a significant amount of money during this window without authorizing big-money sales.

But according to Spanish publication AS, Louis Saha believes that joining Old Trafford would be a “dream” move for the 36-year-old former Real Madrid star.

United’s attack would be altered by Benzema, and that is precisely what they need right now, according to Saha.

“He would undoubtedly improve team performance and score goals. Even though it’s only a dream right now, Karim is still very professional.

Nevertheless, Benzema, who has nine goals in 15 appearances for Saudi team Al-Ittihad, is paid enormous sums of money. They are disappointingly positioned seventh in the Pro League standings, especially considering that their squad includes former Chelsea player N’Golo Kante and former Liverpool midfielder Fabinho.

When Cristiano Ronaldo left for Real Madrid in 2009, Sir Alex Ferguson previously disclosed how close Benzema was to joining United.

Ferguson stated: “At age 21, I thought there would be an improvement there, so we tried to spend [the Ronaldo money] on Karim Benzema.” Going a little bit above and beyond for him due to his age was worthwhile because he is tough, has a good physique, and a good goal scoring record.

But it was beyond his value when it reached £42 million. We spent £35 million, and I believe that was reasonable.

Additionally, Timo Werner, a Champions League winner at Chelsea, will not be joining United.

It is anticipated that the Germany international, who has been benched at RB Leipzig this year, will sign a season-long loan with Tottenham Hotspur.

Jadon Sancho is the top player on United’s list of fringe players who are expected to be sold during this window. There have been rumors that Borussia Dortmund will help bring the English star back to Germany. Raphael Varane, the defender, is also available should the right offer be made.
