Greizman a wanted man at Old Trafford

Antoine Griezman is a wanted man at Old Trafford. Jose Mourinho's side are still a work in progress and many believe that the Portuguese man can bring back the glory days at Old Trafford. The Premier league giants have struggled to remain consistent in the top level of football since the departure of Alex Ferguson the most successful coach at Old Trafford ever. Manchester United have been able to attract big name players with the likes of Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic under Jose Mourinho.


Red Devils have made Paul Pogba a most expensive player in the history of football with 89.3 million British Pounds surpassing the former record holder Gareth Bale with 85.3 million British Pounds from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid on 1 September 2013. Manchester United and Paul Pogba have won the FA cup in 2016 defeating Crystal Palace on the 21st of May 2017 and he has also helped his side to reach the UEFA Europe League final. Red Devils are currently sitting on the 6th position on the log having played 35 games with 17 wins, 14 draws, 4 defeats and 65 points.


It is believed that "the special one" is the big admirer of the French forward Antoine Griezman and he is willing to meet his buy-out clause just to bring the talented forward to Old Trafford. Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezman are friends and many believe that can be the main reason why Griezman may decide to join the Red Devils. According to Daily Star,  Jose Mourinho has 400 million British pounds to spend and it is reported  that Antoine Griezman will cost Mourinho's side 85 million British pounds.


The French forward is one of the best strikers in the world of football currently with the likes of Luis Suarez (Barcelona and Uruguay), Pierre Emerick Aubemeyang (Borussia Dortmund and Gabon), Robert Lewandoski (Bayen Munich and Poland), Alexandre Lacazette (Olympiques Lyonnais and France), Sergio Aguero ( Manchester City and Argentina), Karim Benzema ( Real Madrid and France), Edin Dzeko (Roma and Bosnia), Mauro Icardi (Inter Milan and Argentina), Romelu Lukaku (Everton and Belgium), Diego Costa (Chelsea and Spain), Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspurs and England), Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid and Portugal) Lionel Messi (Barcelona and Argentina).

The 26 year old was the top scorer and Player of the Tournament at the UEFA Euro 2016 were the french were runners up in home soil after a 1-0 defeat to Portugal. He was later shortlisted for FIFA baloon d'O award finishing in the third position with Cristiano Ronaldo claiming the first position and Lionel Messi coming second. The talented French forward has scored 26 goals in all competitions so far for the 2016/2017 season.


According to Mundo Deportivo a football publication in Spain, Griezman will be joining the Red Devils this summer unless he breaks the agreement he has with his camp. "The special one" will be looking to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic this summer following the knee surgery which is likely to rule him out for the majority of the year. Romelu Lukaku and Alvaro Morata have both been linked with the Old Trafford outfit but the French forward is Mourinho's top attacking target.


It is no secret that if Manchester United are successful in the Greizman transfer that would really distract the talented young star's progress Marcus Rashford. The 19 years old has shown in the last recent games that he can be the man for the big occasion helping his side to reach the UEFA Europa League finals on the 24th of May 2017 against Ajax Amsterdam where Thulani Serero is currently playing at.


Marcus Rashford has scored eleven goals with three assists for the 2016/2017 season and many believe that with his ability to run off the ball and to take players on one on one situations, the 19 years old might one day be the best player in the world of football and most vitally he has an eye for goal.
