Man Utd ditch Greenwood, aim to sign Benzema

If this is the case, why did they persecute Mason Greenwood (25, Getafe). Manchester United is sending a bid for Karim Benzema (37, Al Ittihad).

"United legend Andy Cole has urged the club to sign Benzema to bolster their attack," the UK's Daily Mail reported on April 24, saying, "Cole said Benzema would work in the PL and urged them to bring him in to save the club."

Benzema, who has been one of the best goalscorers in European soccer over the past few years, left Real Madrid for Al Ittihad in 2023.

Benzema clashed with head coach Nuno Espirito Santo shortly after his arrival and the club sacked him. The club then hired Marcelo Gayardo, but Benzema hasn't seemed to fit in.

As a result, Benzema has been linked to a number of Premier League clubs. On the 14th, the Manchester Evening News reported that Manchester United are planning to sign Benzema to create competition for Rasmus Hojelin, and on the 18th, The Sun claimed that Chelsea are in a very attractive situation to sign Benzema.

Earlier, Britain's 'Mirror' said, "Arsenal, as well as Chelsea, have won only one in seven games in all competitions since the beginning of December. Many experts have since analyzed that Arsenal need to sign a striker if they want to challenge for the title. The problem is that there aren't many decent strikers available."

The outlet reports that "Arsenal are considering a move for Benzema. Benzema, who left for Al Ittihad, is already looking to return to Europe and some big clubs are interested in him. At 36, Benzema is in the twilight of his career, but he could follow in the footsteps of Jordan Henderson, who made a quick exit from Saudi Arabia."

Interestingly, United, who are desperate to sign Benzema, dropped Greenwood in the transfer window last summer after he was acquitted. He had been suspended from soccer for assaulting his girlfriend and was ultimately acquitted, but was unable to play for United and had to go on loan to Getafe.

United have stated that they have no intention of bringing back Greenwood, who has been in good form at Getafe. Interestingly, unlike 토토사이트 Greenwood, whose criminal charges ended in acquittal, Benzema is an actual convicted criminal, having been accused of threatening a former national teammate.

It's ironic that United, who eventually dropped the controversial but innocent Greenwood, are looking to sign Benzema, a real criminal, due to a lack of strikers. "Benzema is a top player, and I think he can save United," Cole said.
