Antoine Griezmann is one of the best attackers in world football, yet his future at Atletico Madrid is far from certain.

The 25-year-old scored 32 goals in just 54 games for Diego Simeone’s side last season – the Frenchman’s best ever goal-scoring campaign – and then followed that up with six goals to help France reach the final of the European Championships last summer.

However, the tournament’s top-scorer parted company with his agent in September and, with Simeone’s own future also up in the air, speculation has been building that Griezmann could quit the Spanish side in the near future.

Chelsea and Manchester United have since been linked with the forward, and Mourinho should get there ahead of his former employers to bring Griezmann to Old Trafford.

The French international can play anywhere across the front as well as in the number ten role, so would give United plenty of options going forward, while his friendship with Paul Pogba could also be a factor in his decision.

He’ll cost a lot of money but, based on his past few years in La Liga, Griezmann would be worth every penny.
