Benzema has turned down an offer to play for
Algeria.
Lyon's rising star Karim Benzema has revealed he would
relish a move to Manchester United. The 20-year-old striker has
scored 21 goals in 33 matches this season, including two for France
- a return that has reportedly drawn firm interest from European
champions AC Milan.
Benzema has attempted to play down suggestions of an imminent
departure from Lyon as they seek a seventh consecutive French
title. He claimed previously that he would only leave after helping
Les Gones to the Champions League title, but he has admitted his
head would be turned by an offer from the likes of the Old Trafford
club.
'Milan make me dream,' he told Italian sports daily Gazzetta dello
sport. 'Also because Ronaldo is there - he's my idol. He's from
another planet. 'But I also love Juve, Inter and Manchester United
- the big clubs. What's important is to win. 'I would leave Lyon
only to continue to win and when I also feel ready mentally.'
