1) Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)
The French forward has been in formidable form so far this season, scoring ten goals already this season for the Spanish giants. After a slow start to life in Madrid, Benzema has established himself as the club’s number one centre forward, as well as proving himself to be one of the best number nines in world football. It is believed United came close to signing Benzema from former club Lyon back in 2009 – and have remained keen on him ever since. If Van Gaal wants a ready made forward who will come in and score goals, they need not look any further.
