Man Utd News: Antoine Griezmann was so eager to join he could still move in January

Manchester United made Griezmann their No1 target for the summer shortly after their 2-0 Europa League final win over Ajax back in May.

However, Atletico Madrid's transfer ban ultimately saw the France international remain in Spain.

Griezmann has since decided to sign the new contract with Diego Simeone's side, though his buyout clause has dropped to £91million.

But, despite this, the Manchester Evening News say there remains an eagerness on Griezmann's part to make the move to the Premier League.

United immediately shelled out £75million on Romelu Lukaku in the wake of Griezmann's decision to stay in Spain.

And they have also secured the signature of Zlatan Ibrahimovic for another 12 months.

But MEN say Griezmann is still keen to move.

And, while he has signed a new contract, he immediately set his sights on a January transfer shortly after.

Manchester United's arsenal looks well-stocked for the season with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial enjoying stellar starts to the new campaign.

But a move in the New Year or 12 months down the line is not unfeasible.

Griezmann's brother is a diehard United fan and was regularly teasing fans about his brother moving to Old Trafford.

And, with Ibrahimovic likely to leave again next summer, that could pave the way for the France international to join.
