Red Devils keen to add to strike-force
Manchester United have reportedly made a £35million bid for Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema.
The Guardian claim that United manager, Louis Van Gaal, is keen to do a deal with Madrid, and bring the French international to English shores this summer.
Van Gaal eyes Benzema as a potential long-term replacement for both Radamel Falcao, and Robin Van Persie, who are both set to depart Old Trafford.
United make their move:
The 27-year-old forward, who has netted 22 times this term, is also a target for both Liverpool and Arsenal, but reports in Spanish newspaper Marca suggest that United have submitted a bid for Benzema, ahead of their divisional rivals.
The Red Devils have a large amount of money to spend to revamp their squad once again this summer, and the clubs hierarchy are set to offer a large sum of wages, in order to secure Benzema’s signature.
