Jesse Lingard reveals he wants Antoine Griezmann at Man United

Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann is ready to consider a Manchester United transfer next summer.

That’s according to Sky Sports’ Guillem Balague, who says the France international nearly moved to Old Trafford this transfer window. 

“He is with a team which has played in Champions League finals and also won the league recently – more recently than Manchester United – so he is already at one of the top teams in Europe,” he said

“He is playing with the fans and he will continue to do that with teasing messages but it is quite clear he will consider a move to Old Trafford next summer.”

Griezmann himself admitted to nearly joining United before Atletico’s transfer ban scuppered a deal.

The hackers then said: “Hi FC Barcelona, it's OurMine (Security Group), please contact us - ourmine.org ->.

“Contact Us, and sorry for the hoax.”
