Real Madrid set to offer Karim Benzema to Manchester United to sweeten deal for Nemanja Vidic - report
15 Jun 2010 11:06:00
Real Madrid are set to offer Karim Benzema to Manchester United in a bid to tempt the Red Devils to part with Nemanja Vidic, according to a report from The Manchester Evening News.
Jose Mourinho is set to rebuild the team at the Bernabeu and United's Serbian defender is a major target, reports continue to claim.
United have been linked with Benzema before, with the Red Devils said to have been keen on the Frenchman last summer.
The 22-year-old joined Real from Olympique Lyonnais for £35 million. He has struggled to impress at the Bernabeu though, and did not manage to claim a place in the France squad for the World Cup.
He fits the age profile of players that Sir Alex Ferguson likes to sign for United, and with Vidic's agent suggesting that the defender will move after the World Cup, a deal could be possible.
United have also been linked with veteran Blancos striker Raul, but at 32 Ferguson may feel that the player's best days are behind him.
