Romano Explains Factor Standing Between Benzema And Return To European Football—-Real Madrid legend Karim Benzema was, as was the case at the Santiago Bernabeu, set up to be the second fiddle poster boy of the Saudi Arabian Pro League beside Cristiano Ronaldo. Yet a falling out with his club Al-Ittihad has put a return to European football on the table.

Benzema has received harsh criticism from fans for perceived underperformance, and when they were due to return for preseason training, Benzema was not present. He was AWOL for two weeks, and is still not training with the side as discussions take place over his future.

On Wednesday it was reported that Arsenal, Manchester United and Lyon were all talking to Benzema‘s camp. Their main doubt was whether Benzema really wanted to leave Saudi Arabia (the hierarchy there is keen to keep him), but it was said that money was not going to be an issue.

Yet Fabrizio Romano has told Caught Offside that it was the main hold-up. On the Daily Briefing, he explained that United did not have much room in their financial fair play budget to accommodate a major salary, while Olympique Lyon owner had been trying for a month to make ‘the impossible possible’. Until Benzema agrees to take a drastic wage cut, his future remains in Saudi Arabia. While talks are on going, there has been no movement so far.

BREAKING: Bruno Fernandes Sent Off As Manchester United Held Porto In a 6-Goal Thriller

BREAKING: Bruno Fernandes Sent Off As Manchester United Held Porto In a 6-Goal Thriller—-Bruno Fernandes the talking point again in the UEFA Europa League as he’s sent off for Manchester United after been previously sent off in the Premier League last weekend against Tottenham where they were thrashed at Old Trafford by the London Club.

Bruno had his red card appealed and is available to feature for Man United next games but again received another red card for a brutal high foot foul against Porto defender as he was booked for second time in the game to get sent off.

Manchester United were 2 goals up early this night through Marcus Rashford 7th minute opener and Ramus Hojlund scores his first goal of the season after returning from injury but Porto fights back to earn a first half draw and goes ahead in the 50th minute through Samu Omorodion.

Harry Maguire rescued a dramatic draw for 10-man Manchester United after they had surrendered a two-goal lead – and had Bruno Fernandes sent off – at Porto in the Europa League.

The injury-time effort could prove priceless for under-pressure manager Erik ten Hag, whose side were moments away from their fourth loss in 10 games to start the season.

Instead, substitute Maguire rose highest to meet Christian Eriksen’s corner and headed superbly into the bottom corner in the first of five added minutes.

It was a thrilling conclusion to a chaotic encounter at Estadio do Dragao.

Porto could have added to their lead with the away side, even down to 10 men, forced to throw players forward, but failed to make them count and were punished by Maguire’s late header.

Despite salvaging something from the game, United have won only three of their first 10 matches of the season and, for the fourth European away game in a row, they failed to win despite having scored three goals.
