What is good for Benteke?
Aston Villa have slowly climbed out of the relegation zone and should be playing Premier League football next season. Judging by the progress of the team under Tim Sherwood, Benteke will have a huge role to play in the next campaign. He should stay put at Villa Park where he will be ensured more than adequate game time. If he takes his current form through to next year and has an injury free season, Aston Villa could well extract 20+ goals from the striker.
Potential legendary status awaits him at Villa Park in the future. A move to a big club like Manchester United will see him relegated to the bench and hamper his international chances as well. Benteke’s performances for Villa have seen him start for Belgium in the Euro qualifiers. This flow of good performances will stop if he makes the switch to Old Trafford. He can go on and do for Villa what Alan Shearer did for Newcastle. The next season will deliver the verdict on Christian Benteke’s future.
