Jose Mourinho wants Andrea Belotti to play up top with Antoine Griezmann next season

Atletico Madrid ace Griezmann has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United this season.

Reports even suggested a deal could be agreed within two to three weeks.

United secured Champions League football for next season following their Europa League triumph against Ajax.

Mourinho is expected to splash the cash this summer to mount a title charge next campaign.

And according to the Independent, the United star has his front two sorted.

They say the Special One wants Torino star Belotti to play just in front of Griezmann at Old Trafford.

The Italy international has been in fine form in Serie A this season.

Belotti, 23, has netted 27 goals in all competitions.

However, the Independent add that a move for Belotti will not be easy.

The hitman has a release clause of around £85m - just under Griezmann's at Atletico.

United's chances of a agreeing a huge summer deal to bring Belotti to the Premier League are reportedly rated at 50-50.
