Manchester United aim to sign Atletico Madrid attacker Antoine Griezmann in the coming weeks.

The Independent says Jose Mourinho and United's hierarchy are confident of securing a deal for their top target.

It is suggested that the Red Devils aim to finalise his move by the end of June at the latest as they want to avoid a repeat of Paul Pogba's long public transfer saga that dominated the summer of 2016.

There apparently is still a lot to negotiate to ensure the transfer is complete.

But Griezmann's commercial partners like Beats are expecting a deal to go through and have already drawn up plans to make new advertisements.

Griezmann's move is said to be the first of several signings United are looking to bring to the club.
