Louis Saha Urges Manchester United to Make Fantasy Move for Karim Benzema

Former Manchester United forward Louis Saha has urged his former club to pursue a potential move for Karim Benzema as the January transfer window nears its closing. While the Saudi Arabia club Al-Ittihad striker may seem like a fantasy signing, Saha believes Benzema’s incredible profile, experience, and undeniable goal-scoring ability make him one of the best strikers in the world.

According to reports, Benzema has been linked to a Premier League move, and Saha encourages Manchester United to seize any opportunity to bring him to Old Trafford. Saha emphasizes the importance of a sporting director and the need for a mutual understanding between the club’s ambitions and the player’s motivations.

In the past, Manchester United showed interest in signing Benzema, with former manager Sir Alex Ferguson even planning to use the substantial fee received for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid to acquire the French striker. However, Benzema ultimately joined Ronaldo at Madrid in 2009 for a €35m deal.

Saha’s belief is that Manchester United needs to have the confidence that they can attract any player, and signing Benzema would be a significant step towards strengthening their forward line. With Benzema’s unparalleled ability to link up with his teammates, Saha sees the move as a potential great fit for the club.
