Man Utd add Oblak to Griezmann plans in £125M Atletico Madrid raid

Manchester United have added Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak to their shopping list.

The Daily Star says United already want Atletico's France striker Antoine Griezmann in a whopping £85million deal.

And they are now assessing £40m-rated Oblak in case they lose Spaniard David De Gea to Real Madrid.

United boss Jose Mourinho has ordered regular scouting checks on Slovenia's Oblak, 24, who is already rated by team-mate Griezmann, 26, as the best goalkeeper in the world.

Oblak and Griezmann, with a combined value of £125m, are two of the key Atletico players who this week stand between Leicester and a place in the Champions League semi-finals.

The future of De Gea, 26, is again in doubt but he is expected to return to the United side today against Chelsea after Sergio Romero kept goal in the last two matches.
