Manchester United's pursuit of Lyon star Karim Benzema will gather pace next week.
The Manchester Evening News says Benzema will return from holiday this Sunday and consider his future.
United have got the Lyon French international striker at the top of their hit list.
But the 21-year-old has indicated he is happy to remain at the Stade Gerland for another year.
The Reds are ready to test Benzema's resolve as they pursue goalscoring replacements for Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez.
