It is claimed United attempted to sign Griezmann in 2016 but the 25-year-old snubbed their efforts to focus on Euro 2016, where he scored six goals to fire his country to the final.

This week, Griezmann’s brother Theo teased fans over a potential move.

Diego Simeone says he will let Antoine Griezmann go

The younger sibling sent out a tweet with a picture of Old Trafford without any caption and also appeared to troll Memphis Depay following his move to Lyon saying: “Sorry Memphis i think old trafford is better.”

And last week Griezmann’s Atletico boss Diego Simeone suggested he won’t prevent the forward from leaving if he decides to depart.

He said: ”I don't tie anybody down. I simply work in order to continue getting better for the good of the club.

"He [Griezmann] is in an extraordinary moment, he is working well, he has got back on the scoresheet. He is currently in great form and it's normal that the top clubs in the world want him.

"I'm not surprised that those that can afford him are seeking him."
