REVEALED: Man Utd offered Griezmann before he penned Atletico Madrid terms

Manchester United were offered the chance to sign Atletico Madrid attacker Antoine Griezmann less than a month ago, it has been revealed.

That's according to journalist and radio presenter Pilib De Brun, who's revealed the news on Twitter.

Griezmann looked set to quit Atletico for La Liga rivals Barcelona this summer before signing a new deal at the Wanda Metropolitano.

De Brun wrote: "Reliably informed that Antoine Griezmann was offered to Utd days before he released his video claiming he's staying."
