    Where did he say that?

    We did try sign him sure, he choose Madrid, I thought it was the wrong decision but he has really come on under JM so would obviously be open to the possibility of him joining, don't ever actually see it happening though and don't believe United have really tried to sign him the last 3 out of 4 seasons, all these French lads love to talk don't they!

    I seen it on the Sky Sports twitter feed. Presume it's on their website too. Like everything else, whether the quotes are accurate or not is another thing.

    Says on their site that the quotes come from The Sun so probably not a whole lot of truth behind it.

    We tried to sign him that summer and the following January when the Madrid move didn't seem to be working. After that, there's no confirmation either way.

    Yeah I read it myself there (the Benzema thing) he says we tried to sign him the last 3 or 4 years!

    Mad if true.

    Surely he would only know if Madrid were considering accepting our offer and asked was he interested, because if we spoke to him directly would that not be classed as tapping up?

    you can't tap up players in other countries, only domestically. it is no ggood behavior, but there is nothing illegal with it as Uefa don't have rules set down for it, so there are no rules broken.

    I see Benzema has come out and said United have tried to sign him for each of the last 3 or 4 seasons. He has really come on in the last couple of seasons with Real. Would have liked to see him sign when he left Lyon.

    Is that including his time with Madrid?

    Phil Jones behind Carrick in that formation would be like a boss tbh.

    That's something I never knew, so it's something that would be frowned upon rather than being against the rules? Any reason why it's just the PL that enforce this rule?

    Benzema is certainly a Fergie type player.

    I don't trust Jones yet fully as a centre back.
    I think he could make a great DCM though.

    I don't know yet if Jones is best as a centre back right back or midfielder, i do think we will look back and say what we paid was a bargain for the footballer we got.

    Goes down a lot ;)

    But,ya, in seriousness, De Rossi was spectacular today I thought. Would be a great player to buy even if it's a bit unrealistic

    De Rossi was apparently available last summer for 8 million, I was banging on about him then and I would still take him now, but not for big money.

    That performance from him tonight was brilliant. As long as he calms down against us he'll be fine. Superb player
