Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a move for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.
Louis van Gaal is expected to bolster his frontline this summer as his side return to the Champions League.
United have opted against making Radamel Falcao's loan move a permanent one while Robin van Persie has struggled for fitness over the course of the campaign.
And according to the Sun, Benzema is at the top of Van Gaal's wishlist.
It is claimed United are ready to pay £40million for the French striker, who was a target for Sir Alex Ferguson before his move to the Bernabeu.
Benzema joined Real from Lyon in 2009 and just last summer signed a new five-year deal with the Spanish giants.
However it is unclear if he fits into next season's plans, with Rafael Benitez expected to be appointed as Carlo Ancelotti's successor.
Benitez is reportedly ready to build his team around Gareth Bale and with Cristiano Ronaldo also taking centre stage, Benzema's future could well be in doubt.
