Atletico Madrid are encouraging Manchester United to bid for Antoine Griezmann.

The Mirror says Atletico are ready to sell Griezmann to United after a massive fallout with Barcelona.

The Madrid club have lodged an official complaint with FIFA over the tapping-up of their biggest name after Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu met the Griezmann family to discuss a transfer.

Atletico would prefer to sell Griezmann abroad in the summer and United can offer Paul Pogba as a team-mate. Griezmann is also a huge David Beckham fan.

An Atletico statement statement said: “Atletico Madrid have presented a complaint about Barcelona for repeated contact between Barcelona, the player and his people.

“Griezmann has a long contract and this cannot be permitted, while the club also considers it could affect the competition [La Liga] in which Barcelona are currently top and Atletico are second."
