AL ITTIHAD’S star man Karim Benzema looked awkward and uncomfortable as his team-mates gathered round him and chanted his name.
The Real Madrid legend joined the Saudi Arabian outfit earlier this summer in a mega money deal where he is rumoured to be earning around £170million a year.

The Frenchman made the shock move after his spectacular 14-year stint with Madrid.
And it would seem his team-mates are in awe of his trophy-filled career as they gathered round him to chant on the team bus.
A video showed the World Cup winner awkwardly clapping along as they sang to him, celebrating his arrival.
Fans took to Twitter to voice their opinions on the video which has split opinions.
One fan likened the situation to Newcastle’s new signing Sandro Tonali as they suggested Benzema didn’t want to be at the club.
They wrote: “A bit like Tonali at Newcastle. Unhappy. Doesn’t want to be there.”
Whilst other fans jumped to Benzema’s defence and claimed that the video was misleading.
One wrote: “Benzema is the happiest person since he has moved to the greatest club in the continent of Asia.”

The Saudi Pro League side are building a star-filled team with N’Golo Kante and ex-Celtic star Jota also joining the Middle Eastern club this summer.
