Louis Saha, a former striker for Manchester United, has revealed that Erik ten Hag may be considering making an outrageous offer for Karim Benzema. However, Saha has also acknowledged that this may be nothing more than wishful thinking.

During the summer of 2018, the player, who was 36 years old at the time, moved from Real Madrid to the Saudi club Al-Ittihad. To this point, he has scored 12 goals in a total of 20 games. If, on the other hand, Ten Hag is interested in making things better, he will not be able to make many changes in the month of January. It has been difficult for United to score goals this season.

Officials at the club believe that they will not spend a significant amount of money this time around due to concerns regarding financial fair play. At the previous summer, the club spent more than 180 million pounds. As a result of this, they are left with no other option but to investigate offers for loans or discounts on catches. Even though Benzema is getting on in years, he will not be inexpensive because his contract in Saudi Arabia is not set to expire until 2026. On the other hand, United would be required to submit a bid for a loan. In spite of the fact that Saha believes that Benzema would provide United with the goal-scoring skills they require at the moment, he also stated that this may be nothing more than a fantasy.

According to what he told AS, if United were to get Benzema, it would alter their offensive, which is precisely what they require at this moment. Through his goals, he would improve the team’s overall performance. Despite the fact that it is only a dream at the moment, Karim is nonetheless exceedingly courteous.

Before Benzema arrived to Madrid in 2009, United has shown interest in acquiring his services. Additionally, Cristiano Ronaldo transitioned from Old Trafford to the Bernabeu during the same summer. The Frenchman left Real Madrid having won five Champions League titles and four La Liga titles. It was during his time with Real Madrid that he scored 354 goals in 648 appearances.The closeness of Benzema’s potential transfer to Manchester United has already been discussed by Sir Alex Ferguson. In his statement, he stated, “We attempted to spend the money that Cristiano Ronaldo had earned on Karim Benzema because I believed that at the age of 21, he would be a better player.” Due to the fact that he is tough, has a nice body, and scores a lot of goals, it was worth going a bit further for him because of his age.

However, when it reached 42 million pounds, he was not worth that much. I believe that we made a reasonable offer of thirty-five million pounds.

In other developments, it is highly likely that Jadon Sancho will return to Borussia Dortmund on loan in the upcoming season.
