This move doesn't make sense to me.
I can understand United's perspective. But I'm struggling to understand why a newly married young Spanish striker, with an Italian wife, currently back-up to almost 30 Benzema, leaves Real Madrid to join United who have finished 7th, 4th, 5th and 6th in the last 4 seasons since Sir Alex retired. Surely he backs his own ability to out-perform Benzema over the next year or so ? I can't believe his wife is excited about living in Manchester.
Would be different if Zidane was pushing him towards the exit. Or if he was currently at a mid-table Spanish team.
