Manchester United are interested in signing Lyon talisman Karim Benzema, according to the player's agent.

With Carlos Tevez and Cristiano Ronaldo on their way out of Old Trafford, Benzema is believed to be a prime transfer target for Sir Alex Ferguson during the close-season as the Red Devils seek reinforcements.

The 21-year-old has netted 43 goals in 112 league outings for the Stade Gerland outfit, and is said to favour a move to Spain over England, despite reportedly being happy to stay at Lyon for another year.
