Man Utd Transfers: 10 Strikers That Could Be Louis van Gaal's 'Secret Signing'

9. Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)

Gonzalo Higuain eventually left Real Madrid in 2013 after six years at Real Madrid and it could be a similar story if Karim Benzema chooses to leave this summer. Higuain scored goals for Los Blancos but despite his successful contribution he lacked warmth, compassion and appreciation during his time at the Bernabeu. The same could be said for Benzema as he is once more rumoured to be leaving the club and reported to not be part of Rafa Benitez's plans despite scoring 22 goals last season. The French international who won four consecutive Ligue 1 titles with Lyon and the Spanish title with Real Madrid in 2011/12 would give Manchester United a clinical edge in front of goal and an experienced winning mentality. If Angel Di Maria stays at Old Trafford this summer then the pair could be re-united in England and showcase the form they showed during the 2013/14 Champions League win.
