Former Manchester United player Louis Saha has urged the club to sign Karim Benzema to solve their goalscoring problems.
The former France international striker wants the Red Devils to sign his compatriot Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad as he believes the veteran striker would provide a boost to United’s beleaguered side. He also criticized the team management for being unable to provide sufficient support to Rasmus Hojlund in the attacking sector, which led to the striker failing to score Premier League goals in his first season .
At the microphone of BettingOdds.com, Saha delivered a plea for KB9: “ He (Benzema) will shake up Manchester United’s forward line and that’s what they need. He will definitely score goals and coordinate the game better. It’s just a dream, but Karim remains a very professional guy, he’s the type of striker that Hojlund can draw inspiration from, but he’s just one fantasy ».
He added : ” It’s the right club for him (Hojlund), but it’s unfair to put him in charge of the number nine position without an experienced player around him. You can have talented wingers or attacking midfielders, but being a striker is a different mentality. You need someone to show you tracks in the box and I don’t think he can see them, the Premier League is a difficult league for that sort of thing. I played with (Ruud) Van Nistelrooy and (Ole Gunnar) Solskjaer. I was lucky enough to see these legends and learn my racing and skills from them. »
