Manchester United transfer news: Antoine Griezmann AND Gareth Bale could sign next summer due to Red Devils’ huge commercial power
MANCHESTER UNITED will aim to finalise a sensational double swoop for Antoine Griezmann and Gareth Bale next summer.
And the commercial success of Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku's moves to Old Trafford have proven the Red Devils will not need to drastically trim their squad to make the la Liga swoops a reality.
Not only that, but United want to earmark themselves as the Premier League's most attractive club - bringing in two top signings from the biggest European clubs would prove that.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Mino Raiola-represented pair Pogba and Lukaku are going a long way towards paying back their hefty transfer fees in shirt sales.
Welshman Bale has regularly said he is happy at the Spanish capital and has no desire to leave.
But as regularly reported in the Spanish press, European champions Real are increasingly open to him leaving, after successfully defending their Champions League crown without him starting in Cardiff last June.
Griezmann was United's top transfer target last summer, but the Frenchman eventually decided to stay at Atletico Madrid following their transfer ban.
He had been courting a move to Old Trafford on French TV during the international break at the end of the club season.

United are also in the market for players to improve their style in the final third, with Wales star Bale exactly the sort of winger they seem to need.
Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial have done well as wide forwards, but the pair both prefer to play through the middle.
