Manager's View:
"Benzema plays as a lone striker and he's a goal threat because of that," Ferguson said.
"The way Benzema took his chance tells you he can score out of nothing and you worry about players like that."
"Benzema is the goalscorer in the team. Him and Juninho from set pieces are a 100% threat to us and we have to be aware of that," he said.
"If you assess the game, Lyon were at home and their attitude was to make sure we didn't score a goal which is happening in Europe now."
Fergie on what Lyon's President said about United and Benzema:
"When I was over watching them play, I was having a bite to eat with him then he came out and said I had been discussing Benzema with him," he said.
"I never mentioned Benzema to him. He's maybe trying to swing a bit of favour to his team."
"Picking the team for Tuesday is a real headache," he told MUTV.
"I had one team in mind before the Fulham victory, but I changed my mind at half-time!
"We've got to win against Lyon - it's a massive game for the club. All the players realise that."
