Antonio Valencia + Karim Benzema for Man Utd?


With Kaka's confirmed transfer to Real Madrid, Man Utd could be less likely to see the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, unless of course the Madrid team is going to spend another 80 million pounds on Ronaldo. This will be a scary thought, having 160 million Euros spent on two players with no gurantee of success. But then again, nothing is a surprise these days with football transfers.

The attention has switched to Man Utd. Speculation is rife that Man Utd is interested to sign Wigan's Antonion Valencia (top left). The right winger has impressed for Wigan in the BPL for two seasons now. I think he is a fairly good winger, traditional and hardworking, able to cross and shoot decently, and also has two good feet. His runs and natural flair reminds me of Kanchelskis, the Russian winger when he was at Man Utd. But whether is he good enough to challenge Park, Nani, Ronaldo, Tosic, Martin and an ageing Giggs for a spot in the 1st team, I am not so sure. Well, Nani was thought to be the one who will play winger for Man Utd in the future but he has failed to justify his potential and transfer fee. Valencia will be a good squad player to have but might not add enough to the first team.


Karim Benzema (most top) is someone I have admired for the longest time. Seriously, if Man Utd needed another striker, then it has to be Karim Benzema. While I really will hate to see Tevez go to a rival club, Benzema is the answer to allay all fears in me. He is the complete stiker in my opinion and if he hasn't proven himself at the highest level, he could do so with Man Utd. The boy's got touch, two fantastic feet, quick accelaration and a keen eye for goal. I will love to see him at Man Utd.

Who is coming to strengthen Man Utd this year? It will be a thrill to know.
