Football: Benzema happy to stay at Real

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema claimed that Manchester United have made attempts to sign him for the past three or four seasons but he said that he is contented at his club, according to Sky Sports. “The rumours about my future are common, every summer it's the same that I will be going to this club and that club,” said Benzema. “But I am very happy at Real and the thought about leaving has never crossed my mind. I know United have tried to sign me for the past three or four seasons. I'm still young and I have a contract at Real until 2015. I still want to achieve things at the club. I have had a taste of success after winning the Spanish title but I want more."
