LYON forward Karim Benzema has added to Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's woes by admitting he would prefer a move to Real Madrid over Old Trafford.
The Ligue 1 player of the year, who is currently with the France squad at Euro 2008, has long been linked to the Red Devils, who are currently trying to stave off attempts to lure winger Cristiano Ronaldo to the Bernabeu.
Benzema, 20, told Spanish newspaper Marca that a move to Madrid is something that would interest him in the future. He said: "I like Real Madrid, but I think that I'm still too young to sign for a club like that. I think that I need to get more experience and I'd like to help Lyon be a European champion. Then, in the future, we'll see what happens."
