Man United rejected chance to sign Al-Ittihad forward Karim Benzema

Karim Benzema wanted to find some challenges in Europe and Man United are the frontrunners.

Karim Benzema has been linked with Man United during the winter transfer window. The Red Devils have reportedly rejected the chance to sign Al-Ittihad forward.

Karim Benzema moved to Saudi Arabia from Real Madrid last summer after spending 14 years in La Liga. He joined Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad on a free transfer.

The 36-year-old has justified his quality in the Middle East by scoring nine goals and providing five assists in 15 League appearances. His club are sitting at seventh place and are 28 points adrift of leaders Al-Hilal.

There were some reports that Benzema wants to leave the club and wants to join any European club for more challenges. The former Real Madrid man called all those stories rumours where he was linked with Man United, Arsenal and Chelsea.

🚨 #mufc are unlikely to sign a replacement for Anthony Martial. Club sources have not completely ruled out the possibility, but continue to refute rumors linking them to Karim Benzema, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Brian Brobbey. [@ChrisWheelerDM] pic.twitter.com/6bwH4q4xoN
