Will Manchester United Go For Karim Benzema For Striker?

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has called on the club to make a sensational transfer move for Karim Benzema, currently playing for Al-Ittihad. Saha believes that bringing in the veteran striker could provide a much-needed solution to the Red Devils’ goalscoring issues. The ex-France international forward criticized the club’s management for what he considers an unfair burden on young striker Rasmus Hojlund, citing a lack of experienced support in the attacking third.

Manchester United has struggled to find the back of the net this season, managing only 22 goals in 20 Premier League matches. This lack of goals places them in a precarious position, tied with Crystal Palace and trailing behind other teams in terms of offensive output. The call for reinforcements in the attacking department comes as a response to the team’s evident struggles to score consistently.

Speaking to BettingOdds.com, Saha expressed his belief that Karim Benzema could solve Manchester United’s attacking problems. According to Saha, Benzema’s experience and professionalism would add goals to the team and provide valuable mentorship to young striker Rasmus Hojlund. Saha emphasized that the responsibility of being the sole number nine is unfair to Hojlund, stressing the need for an experienced player to share the attacking burden.

Saha acknowledged Hojlund’s potential but criticized the club for not providing enough support to the young striker in terms of mentorship and guidance in the attacking third. Drawing from his own experiences playing alongside legends like Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Erik ten Hag, Saha highlighted the importance of having an experienced player to guide and teach the nuances of being a successful striker in the demanding Premier League.

Manchester United is looking to sign some new players, especially for their defender role and a striker, because Hojlund failed to step up for the Manchester United side.
