United drive us round the Benz
~
LYON say they are powerless to stop Manchester United target Karim Benzema leaving.
The French side are desperate to keep hold of their star striker.
But United will have money to burn when Cristiano Ronaldo joins Real Madrid and Alex Ferguson is ready to swoop.
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has revealed megabucks Manchester City and Chelsea could rival United for Benzema.
He said: "Karim has said that he wants to stay another year at Lyon.
"But I think that Kaka or Ronaldo maybe imagined remaining with their respective clubs.
"There is a tsunami called Real Madrid which provokes reactions at Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United.
"So it is very complicated to say that he is non-transferable. Today, it's obvious we want to keep him.
"There is more chance he'll be at Lyon next season than that he won't be.
"I won't hide from you the fact that he has been approached. For the moment, I managed to convince them not to go further."
