Antoine Griezmann could head to Manchester United in January with Atletico Madrid future in doubt
France striker so nearly moved to Old Trafford in the summer and new £175million release clause may not deter Jose Mourinho from trying again
ANTOINE GRIEZMANN could once again be a top transfer target for Manchester United - as soon as January, according to reports.
The Atletico Madrid striker was linked with a move to Old Trafford for all of last summer.
His will-he-won't-he predicament became one of the biggest talking points of the transfer window even though United ultimately settled on Romelu Lukaku.
Griezmann stayed at the Vicente Calderon and signed a new deal.
It is believed that agreement has bumped his minimum transfer fee up to around £175million.
But now talkSPORT, citing reports in Spain, say Atleti bosses are becoming "increasingly frustrated" with Griezmann's form.
