Manchester United will launch a £50m bid for Alexandre Lacazette, according to The Mirror.

United have given up on primary target Antoine Griezmann after Atletico Madrid's transfer ban was upheld.

And now, manager Jose Mourinho is looking at Griezmann's countrymen, Lacazette, to be United's new goal scorer.

The Lyon ace has expressed his desire to play Champions League football next season, which rules out rivals Arsenal, who had recently shown interest in the 27-year old.

Lacazette scored 37 goals this season, with tallies of 27 and 31 for the previous two seasons.
