Benzema (NOT Bale or Ronaldo) should be Man Utd's top transfer target, says Eric Abidal
ERIC ABIDAL has told Manchester United and Manchester City to forget about trying to sign Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale and move for Karim Benzema instead.
Benzema has been linked with a move to Arsenal or Liverpool in recent times given his uncertain status in Carlo Ancelotti's plans at Real.
And while a lot of the transfer speculation inevitably focuses on Ronaldo and Bale, Abidal believes Benzema is a player more clubs should be targeting.
He told Gol TV: "Benzema is the man I'd sign from Madrid if I were at Barca, definitely.
"For me, he is Madrid's most important player right now.

Karim Benzema has impressed for Real Madrid
So yes, if I have to sign one person it would be him
Eric Abidal
"If you take Benzema away from Real Madrid then they would continue scoring goals but not as many as they do with Karim in the team.
"He's a very complete player and other players play well in Madrid when Karim is there.
"So yes, if I have to sign one person it would be him - and not just because he is my friend and my compatriot but because of his qualities."
