Benzema Rumored To Make Shock Move to Man Utd this January

The unexpected twists of football transfers often leave fans in awe, and the latest bombshell involves none other than Karim Benzema making a shock move to Manchester United this January.

Karim Benzema has been a stalwart at Real Madrid, contributing significantly to the club’s success over the years. Explore his achievements, stats, and memorable moments with the Spanish giants. Al-Ittihad striker Karim Benzema is keen on a return to European football and Manchester United are interested in signing him this month.

Benzema ended his 14-year spell with Real Madrid last June to sign a three-year deal reportedly worth £86million-a-season with the Saudi Pro League side.

The 36-year-old has scored 12 goals in his 20 appearances in the Middle East, but problems have begun to emerge for him in Saudi.

Benzema failed to show up for the start of Al-Ittihad’s pre-season campaign last Friday.

This meant the rest of the team travelled to Dubai without him over the weekend.

Head coach, Marcelo Gallardo has ordered Benzema not to join up with his teammates, leaving the player’s future in doubt.

United are one of the clubs interested in offering the former Ballon d’Or winner a route back to Europe with the Premier League side expecting a response in the coming weeks.

The football world is buzzing with the news of Benzema’s move to Manchester United. Whether this will be a game-changer for both clubs or a gamble that might not pay off remains to be seen.
