Speaking to Betfred, Andy Cole has urged Man United to sign Karim Benzema. Asked if he would welcome the Frenchman at Old Trafford, he said: “150%.
"I would sign him if it was only for a training session. I was very surprised when he left Real Madrid in the summer, but I understand why it happened.
“That money he’s earning in Saudi Arabia is generational wealth. It’s for his kids and his kids’ kids. When you’re at that age in your career and you’ve already won four La Liga titles, five Champions League trophies and the Ballon d’Or, I can understand why he went to Saudi.
“Could he do it in the Premier League at his age? 100% considering the way he looks after himself. If Manchester United have the opportunity to sign him, then they should definitely try and make that happen.”
Benzema is currently seeking to leave the Saudi league. At 36, he is not the long-term project United would want. However, his experience would be helpful to the team.
