Manchester United Football Club are in the running to sign Karim Benzema.

Despite having Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez, Dimitar Berbatov and Cristiano Ronaldo at their disposal, the Reds will join Barcelona and Real Madrid in the hunt for the £35million-rated Lyon striker.

“Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United are not the only clubs following Karim because all the big European clubs are,” agent Karim Djaziri said to France-Football.

“Our contacts with the clubs are constant and our contacts did not start last year but since Karim is 16! But we are transparent with Lyon on every point and they are aware of everything happening.”
