Manchester United are set to make a £35million move for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema after Gareth Bale insisted he was staying at the Spanish club.
United hoped to lure Bale to Old Trafford this summer but the Welsh international is adamant he wants to continue his career in La Liga.
And new manager Rafa Benitez sees him in his plans, not least after he revealed he wants to play Cristiano Ronaldo in a central striking role
That would put Benzema on the sidelines but give Bale more scope on either flank.
Ideally, Benitez would want to keep Benzema in the squad but it seems the club are ready to cash in on the Frenchman to bolster their transfer funds.
And it is understood United have been alerted that Benzema is up for grabs
