Manchester United remarkably turned down the chance to land Karim Benzema this winter.

The Red Devils have struggled to find the goalscoring front domestically this season.

Forward Rasmus Hojlund only has ONE Premier League goal all campaign, while every United player is under five league goals this term.

However, The Sun states that former Real Madrid star Benzema is not a United target.

The Red Devils were made aware of Benzema wanting to leave Al-Ittihad this winter.

However, they will not target the Saudi Arabia-based veteran due to financial issues.

United already have a high wage bill and want to remove high earners, not add more.
