Antoine Griezmann reported to agree his transfers from Atletico Madrid to Manchester United on last Monday. On the meadow there would be no casting mistakes to be feared, the Frenchman would fit perfectly into Manchester United’s game and would be a priority player for United’s manager, Jose Mourinho.
In a team that tends to keep a low block, he would streamline the transition phases without slowing down the game. However, with Ibrahimovic and Rashford, Griezmann predicted the perfect striker for the Red Devils next season.
Manchester United has for long been in a poor form this season, which partly explains the club’s pains to return to the podium in the English Premier League and enjoyed UEFA Europa League.
If Antoine Griezmann landed in the Old Trafford this summer, his mission would be to restore the jersey of the Red Devils. It is not smaller matter, certainly, but the challenge is up to his talent. The French national player has probably arrived at the end of season with Atletico Madrid and needs to give a new career to the player.
Antoine Griezmann has been a superb star with Atletico Madrid, scoring 83 goals 160 games for the club for the past three seasons. At the Old Trafford, Griezmann still has everything to do, both personally and collectively, and there is no doubt that the biggest challenge of his career would await him. But Griezmann is one those champions who knows how to establish a galvanizing energy from the pressure and he will surely give back to a drafting Mourinngo’s side.
Jose Mourinho tells Griezmann to claim number 7 jersey following Memphis Depay’s departure this summer. The Special One confirmed that Depay had completed a deal with Olympique Lyon on Friday. Griezmann would also walk in the long tradition of renowned numbers 7, form club legend Eric Cantona to Cristiano Ronaldo, obviously passing by David Beckham.

Despite finished at 6th place in the end of English Premier League campaign, Jose Mourinho and Manchester United have just won the 2017 Europa League against Ajax and offer them a place at Champions League in next season. By signing Antoine Griezmann this summer, the Portuguese hopes that Manchester United compete in all games.
