Mourinho determined to bring Antoine Griezmann to Man Utd

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho wants to bring Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann to England.

The Sunday Mirror says Mourinho has already made French star Griezmann his number one target for next summer's quest for more galactico signings.

By then Mourinho will be confident of offering the much coveted Atletico Madrid star Champions League football as he prepares to make another Paul Pogba style swoop.

Mourinho made a number of attempts to bring Griezmann to Chelsea before the striker had elevated himself into the top bracket of European forwards.

Now rated in the Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez class, United know they would probably have to smash their recent £89 million club record transfer outlay for Pogba to get their man.

But that won't put off Mourinho who believes the 25-year-old would be a sensation in the Premier League.
