Manchester United’s two consecutive defeats has surely opened a better opportunity for United as it exposed the weaknesses of the club.

According to a report from Spanish news outlets, the Red Devils are on the run to chase after Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann. The same source indicates that the French forward had rejected a switch to Barcelona and is reportedly not happy with his current team due to poor performance.

Atletico Madrid suffered a major defeat recently after being knocked out by Juventus despite their 2-0 victory in the first leg.

The reports also indicate that the Red Devils are battling with Bayern Munich over the signature of the star.

The 27-year-old winger has been in scintillating form for the Madrid outfit after putting in some dazzling displays at the Spanish capital during this campaign.

Griezmann has featured in 39 matches for the La Liga giants this term, scoring 18 goals while creating eight assists in all competitions.

The Macon-born talent is also vastly experienced at the international level and played an instrumental part in helping France win the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia last summer.

Griezmann has decent pace and is widely regarded as one of the best dribblers in European football. He can make some penetrative runs behind the opposition defence and is tough to dispossess when he is playing at a high level on the pitch.

More importantly, the French striker is a prolific goal-getter and is also not shy about creating opportunities for his teammates in the final third.

Experts state that the signing of the striker will add more attacking power to United and Ed Woodward should do everything to convince the French player to Old Trafford.

Griezmann adds to the list of players United have planned to sign during this summer including Jadon Sancho and Gareth Bale.
