Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has made Atletico Madrid attacker Antoine Griezmann a priority 2018 transfer target.

Griezmann resisted a move to United last summer, but is now open to a deal with Atletico free to buy his replacement in January.

Spanish football expert Guillem Balague thinks Manchester United boss Mourinho will not hold back in his attempt to lure the 26-year-old.

"There are lots of options for Griezmann," Balague told Sky Sports.

“Add PSG to that as well, but they will have to sell players before they do that.

“He will play with the idea of being with either of them [United and Barcelona] and he knows they both want him.

“It will be a difficult choice to make but I feel that having said no to a huge offer from Manchester United in the summer, they will have to come back with the same kind of offer, with the same promise, with the same flirting from Jose Mourinho, conversations on the phone as has happened, to convince him to go there instead of Barcelona, where he will play next to the likes of Messi.

“It's a great choice to have. I am convinced everybody realises that Griezmann has to move on."
