Manchester United Interested in Signing Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad, as the striker is keen on a return to European football. Benzema, who ended his long spell with Real Madrid last June, has been playing for the Saudi Pro League side since then. However, recent problems and his failure to join the team for pre-season have left his future in doubt. Head coach Marcelo Gallardo has instructed Benzema to stay away from his teammates, leading to speculation about his next move. United is one of the clubs eyeing a potential signing, with a response expected in the coming weeks, according to Marca.
