'Bigger, the better': Karim Benzema responds to Man United transfer speculation

Karim Benzema has finally addressed his future amid rumours he could leave Al Ittihad despite joining only last summer.

The former Real Madrid striker has also been linked to Manchester United, as the Red Devils desperately need a proper striker.

They currently have Rasmus Hojlund as an option while Anthony Martial is set to undergo surgery. However, Benzema, 36, doesn't seem too keen on a return to Europe.

When asked about his future in an interview with L'Equipe, the Frenchman replied: "It's completely false!

"The French media don't know what to invent anymore. The bigger [claims], the better."

Signing Benzema is unlikely to solve Man United's troubles anyway, given the number of big names who have had underwhelming spells so far.
