After a more difficult period at the end of 2016, Antoine Griezmann returned very strong with in particular 3 goals and 3 assists in all competitions confused in the last 6 matches of Atletico Madrid. A return to form that does not go unnoticed, especially on the side of Manchester United where his name has circulated in recent months.
Indeed, former Manchester United players, Roy Keane and Paul Scholes, militate for his coming to the Old Tarfford. Presented as the high priority of Jose Mourinho for next summer, Griezmann would land in England in conquered ground.
Yet difficult to convince, the former middle of the English club Roy Keane was excited by the performance of the international tricolor. “It’s fantastic. I am impressed by his level for two years. He regularly marks, during the big matches, internationally and also during the great evenings of Champions League. He was in touch with United. Which player he would do in Manchester,” Keane told media.
“In Manchester United, the first pressure is to win. Championships, Champions League. If a Griezmann is accessible, how can he turn his back? Especially if none of our young people is as good as him?” Scholes said.
Adored by the legends of the club, the French also would like in the locker room of the current 6th Premier League with in particular the support of his fellow in France team, Paul Pogba.
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old has recently reaffirmed his attachment to the media, while leaving the door open for a possible start at the next summer transfer following the end of the season of his team.
“With Real Sociedad, I felt I needed to leave. For now, I do not have that need or desire. We do not know how the season will end. If it ends badly, maybe I’ll ask myself the question. For now, it is not current,” Griezman said in recent weeks.

With a release clause set at 100 million euros, Griezmann will have only one say to push Manchester United to take action. Such a check will not make any fear to the Red Devils for a player validated by the most demanding of their old players.
