Although he did not really play explosively in the Saudi Pro League, Karim Benzema is still proving his superior class, scoring 9 goals and 5 assists in just 15 matches. The above achievement helps him surpass most of MU’s strikers.
Accordingly, the “Red Devils” only own 24 goals after 21 matches in the Premier League. All of MU’s strikers have only entered their names on the electronic board 9 times.
Karim Benzema’s ability as an assassin is undisputed. The 36-year-old player possesses excellent finishing skills and knows how to choose his position to take advantage of opportunities that come his way.
Karim Benzema will help Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho flourish
When he was playing for Real Madrid, Benzema was not just a striker who stuck in the penalty area to score goals. The former Lyon star often retreats to the middle of the field to receive the ball and make one-touch passes to help Vinicius Jr or Rodrygo have more space to accelerate.

In addition, the French player is very good at turning and making walls to connect with the midfield. This more or less helps MU find a solution to advance the ball instead of having to frequently throw the ball long to Rashford or Garnacho.
Besides, Benzema’s creating ability is also excellent. On average, each recent season, the French player has had over 7 assists for himself.

MU is currently eyeing many strikers in Europe such as Ivan Toney and Evan Ferguson in the transfer market. However, owning these stars right at the winter market is not really easy.
Therefore, bringing in Karim Benzema on a short-term contract will help the “Red Devils” board of directors reduce the pressure of having to own a quality striker at an affordable price.
In the past, MU was also very successful in short-term plans such as Cavani or Ighalo.
