Benzema and Ben Arfa for United?
Manchester United is rumored to sign new players, Hatem ben Arfa and Karim Benzema from Lyon next season. Although I am not sure either Sir Alex really wants them or this is only another Sir Alex strategy to divert the player’s interest towards their next Champions league match when Manchester United will face Lyon in 2nd round.
If it is true then Fergie will have a closer look at the pair when United face the French side in the Champions League this week – but he did nothing to quell speculation that he is set to move for the £30m-rated Benzema as well as Ben Arfa.
Amid rumours that he has already offered £21m for the player dubbed “the new Zidane”, Fergie described him as a “possibility”.
Benzema has confirmed his first choice is a move to Milan, but admitted he would be tempted by offers from United and Juventus, while Arsenal is also monitoring his progress.
He is high rated, however, I never see him play yet. Maybe I can judge either he is good enough to play for Manutd when Manutd face them next week!
