Manchester United are in the market to make a blockbuster move or two during the summer transfer window and have their eyes on Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann.
With Zlatan Ibrahimovic likely to leave the club and Wayne Rooney’s future very much up in the air, Jose Mourinho wants to bring in a big-money striker to help fire Manchester United back into the Premier League title race.

Griezmann, who is valued in excess of £80m by the La Liga side, has today informed Atletico Madrid of his desire to leave the club this summer, according to Spanish journalist Antonio Ruiz.
United are the club leading the race for the former Real Sociedad standout as Mourinho looks to reshape his attack ahead of next season.
The 26-year-old has 83 goals and 25 assists in 160 appearances for Atletico since his arrival in August 2014, including 26 goals and 12 assists this past season, further establishing himself as one of Europe’s top strikers.
