ANTOINE GRIEZMANN has fuelled speculation he’s eyeing a move to Manchester United after singing Paul Pogba’s praises.
The Atletico Madrid star has been strongly linked with a move to United as Jose Mourinho reportedly plots to offload skipper Wayne Rooney.
The Special One has been given the green light to smash Pogba’s £89million world-record fee, although a transfer could depend on the future of Atletico boss Diego Simeone.
The Argentine manager has reduced his contract and has been tipped to quit Spain next summer, with Chelsea also interested in bringing Griezmann to the Premier League.
The versatile forward has ditched his agent in order to represent his own interests, and Paris Saint-Germain could also be set to launch a bid.
But it seems Griezmann would fancy a switch to Old Trafford should the opportunity arise after he branded France teammate Pogba a ‘genius’.
