The last man on our list is one of the top 3 footballers on the planet alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Antoine Griezmann, who sparkled at Real Sociedad before taking his performances to an altogether different level with Atletico Madrid is a man who has been touted to be on the move.

The Frenchman has been in phenomenal form over the last 18 months as has taken the footballing world by the storm with his performances for Atletico as well as the French National Team. He has scored critical goals throughout the season and more importantly has also had a hand to play in several other goals for his side as they remain one of the top teams in Spain.

While Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the current Manchester United Number 9 has been in fine form himself, it needs to be reiterated that the Swedish superstar was always believed to be a short-term bridge to help Jose Mourinho bring in a long term option to handle the attacking options at the Old Trafford and Griezmann fits the bill perfectly.

He is the kind of signing that would help United send the right signals to their fans about the club’s ambitions, has a stellar record in front of the goal and is young and hungry to succeed.

Perhaps, like other players linked to the Manchester club, a lot will depend on the side’s qualification to Europe in the upcoming season.
