Manchester United to use Saha as bait for Benzema
Published 00:00 10/06/08 By By David McDonnell
Louis Saha will be used as bait to help bring a new striker to Manchester United.
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson's patience with Saha has finally snapped after a four-and-a-half year stay at Old Trafford which saw the forward injured much of the time. He started only nine games last term.
Fergie has decided to cut his losses and offer the 29-year-old as a makeweight in a potential deal.
Saha is keen on a return to his native France and United are discussing the possibility of using him in a playerplus cash deal for Lyon's £25million-rated front man Karim Benzema.
United believe they could land the 20-year-old with a cash offer of about £20m plus Saha.
