#2 The Paul Pogba connection

Pogba and Grizou are great pals

These days, Paul Pogba just needs to be spotted talking to an opponent or a rumoured transfer target, and social media starts flooding with rumours. When the fans see Paul Pogba talking to a rival compatriot, they assume that something's cooking. Paul Pogba's influence on transfers has fondly earned him the sobriquet, Agent P.

The French midfielder was highly influential in United's war against Chelsea to sign Romelu Lukaku from Everton. He could also use his talents as an agent in bringing Grizou to United.

Apart from his abilities as a self-proclaimed agent, Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann maintain a great friendship off the field. When queried about his relationship with the Atletico Madrid forward, Pogba said:

"I really like Grizou. It is really enjoyable being pals with him. We are always together, wherever we go."

Griezmann probably has grilled Pogba a lot of times about Manchester United and without a tinge of doubt, 'Agent P' must have replied extremely well.

The fans love seeing close friendships between players blossoming on the field. United fans might have a chance to witness a new bromance after a long time since the time of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.
