Mehdi: I dream of United move

HARDMAN ... Mehdi Benatia
MOROCCO ace Mehdi Benatia has issued a 'come and get me' call to Manchester United.
The tough Udinese centre-back is being monitored by Old Trafford boss Alex Ferguson — and he has made it clear he would love to link up with the Premier League champions.
Benatia, 24, has a £9.7million price tag on his head, and is under contract with the Serie A side for another three years.
But he admitted last night: "To be linked with Manchester United is a dream come true.
"They are the biggest club in the world, and to have an opportunity to play at Old Trafford would be amazing, believe me.
"But I have a contract with Udinese, and they have to be happy before I can move."
Benatia joined Udinese from French Second Division side Clermont two years ago after failing to make the grade with Marseille. He was a target for Chelsea before they signed £7m Gary Cahill from Bolton last month.
