Griezmann came very close to signing for United in the summer

Given the struggles of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Juan Mata, Jose Mourinho desperately needs a world-class addition to his attacking line in order to add to the creativity of his side. Griezmann almost joined Manchester United in a £100 million deal last summer but the deal collapsed because of Atleti's transfer ban.

Atletico Madrid signed Diego Costa from Chelsea in October and will not stop Griezmann this time around from making a move to Manchester United. With his close friend Paul Pogba playing at United, Griezmann always wanted to join the Red Devils and the French international will be an excellent addition to the United squad.

Griezmann has quick feet, excellent vision, and a terrific passing range. His linkup play with Paul Pobga while on national duty is a delight to watch and Mourinho wants to recreate that magic at United.

However, Manchester United are facing competition in the pursuit of Griezmann as La Liga giants Barcelona are also keeping a close watch on his situation at Atletico.
