Better general technique I'll give you. Benzema is probably better on the ball.
Karim Benzema | Benzema: "To the clowns who want to make up things, Madrid is my home! #HalaMadrid"

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Arghhh you sank my muppet-ship. Hadn't considered that!
Could've just said 20 goals in 24 appearances.
The muppet thread we wanted.
Let's do it the other way around. Costa is a better finisher and stronger. Benz beats him in pretty much every other department.
Could've just said 20 goals in 24 appearances.
It was 26 appreances, and 0 goals in 5 UCL appreances although injury accounted for some of that as well as missing sitters
Looks like lazy journalism to me, didn't he sign a new contract this season?
3-4 years too late. He's going to turn 28. Let's get some younger strikers in, please.
Sign him up, the Karim of the crop
We didn't score enough goals this season, one of our strikers has gone, another looks a shadow of his former self, we need another striker.
I suppose stuff like this could be a possibility because of DeGea, i doubt we would have a chance of him otherwise.
Agree with this. Would have been good to sign him 10 years ago.
He is actually a powerful player, at least Vidic thought so.
The last attribute I'd worry about regarding Benzema is strength.
No thanks, I want Kane or Dybala.
The Benzema that caused grief for Rio and Vidic away in Lyon all those years ago was primed for Premier League football.
Dybala has confirmed himself that's he's off to Juve, right?
I keep hearing this, he probably has, however don't think the clubs have announced anything. He's probably going to be a top top player though.
Yes.
So we shouldn't buy any good strikers because we have Wayne Rooney?
The player has confirmed. Likewise Kane has said he's not going anywhere.
Madrid get Aguero..... we get Benzema
Best deal ever.
Best deal ever.
What does the tweet say?
A striker who's good enough to make a difference at the business end of any competition. Not perfect, and a shade older than ideal, but depending on who else we buy his experience could be valuable.
What to do with Wayne Rooney? Make him earn his spot in the starting 11. He's not indispensable at all like many on here seem to suggest.
Pretty much I'd say. Unless we're planning on changing system again, having Rooney is somewhat problematic if you want to sign another top forward. Rooney is on big wages and our captain so is likely to play all the time. We either change formation or have Rooney out of position. Benzema wouldn't want to come here to 'rotate'.
My captain shall always play
He is even better now.
He really is built for the prem though. Good speed, strength and great technique.
Levy put a gun to his head and forced him to say that.
Best we could get. Guaranteed 20+ league goals. One of the most complete number 9's right now. And as said his strenght is definitely not an issue.
Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema emerges as target for Manchester United
The article suggests Benezema is being monitored by LVG as a possible option to our striking problems. Uncertainty at Real Madrid due to managerial change. Benezema valued at £40m according to Jamie Jackson of the Guardian, who has never given the impression he knows much about football and this article sure doesn't change that view.
I wasnt convinced back in the previous Benzema sagas but at the moment he would be perfect for us.
I dont think he is entirely unobtainable either - he doesnt have the same galactico rating as Ronaldo, Bale and Rodriguez. Selling Benzema would also give Real an excuse (not that they normally need one) to go after Aguero.
If there is a chance of us getting him then I would make it a priority, along with a new RB.

I'd say time to play 4-4-2 again.
The player that brought me to the Caf.
Rather take a chance with Kane. Plus Perez loves him more than Bale.
Never going to happen under van Gaal, he already confirmed he doesn't like that formation.
Didn't he play 4-4-2 at AZ?
I know, it was more desperation than anything else.
So what do we do with him?
I'd love him here he's a consistent 20+ goals a season striker.
