Karim Benzema, Alexis Sanchez on their Way?

According to Karim Benzema's team mate at Lyon he is almost a United player. Apparently he is close to signing in a £38 million deal. Expensive but then again no one is going to be cheap for United now everyone knows Ronaldo's £80 million sale to Real Madrid has gone through. And he seems to be the best of the bunch who would almost definitely fit in the Premier League.

Chile’s Alexis Sanchez of Udinese is also on Sir Alex Ferguson's radar apparently. Talk of a move for the little wing wizard is exciting. There have been comparisons between him and Barcelona's Lionel Messi and i can see why.



The only doubt would be as to whether the diminutive star could cope with physical side of the Premiership. I would be willing to take the risk as i think after a couple of years the boy would be up there with the worlds best.

The Star claims £11m-rated Toulouse forward Andre-Pierre Gignac could also a United target although this is the first i have heard of this and i know little of him. The 6ft 1 1/2in tall 23 year old has played 3 times for France but has failed to net yet although he has managed 26 goals in 65 appearances for current club Toulouse. Probably a poor alternative to Benzema who we could do without to be honest. I'd rather Welback and Macheda given their fair share of games instead next season.

Next on the list of rumours is Barcelona's Yaya Toure although i doubt this will happen as he has just singed a new deal at Barce. Talk of a £25 million is probably wide of the mark.

If Benzema and Sanchez come in i'd be a very happy Man Utd fan.
