Load of nonsense. That’s a Woodward and even Arnold signing. The incoming Blanc is more about value and sensible wages isn’t he?

Worst sources on the planet, never happening.

Weird to say you wouldn't take him though. He's in the form of his life, which is saying something.

He might be superb but he’s 33 in few months and on top of that tripling his wages? Do you want to go down that road again?
I'd be perfecrtly okay with a 2/3 year deal. His game isn't about pace/physicality. He's a brilliant footballer that also works very hard.

On a free or nominal fee, for ok wages, to back up CF and LFW (challenging Marcus as well as Hojlund), for 2 years then sell to Saudi or wherever, then... maybe. Currently suggested deal - not so much.

If you want a new contract then ask your club, not Manchester United

Sensational footballer. Still so weirdly underrated, but no way this happens.

Have you watched him recently? He's absolutely superb!
Yeah, he's been really good, but we all know what will happen if he comes here. He will be 33 in March so not a very long term signing, unless we can get him on a maximum two year contract with reduced wages.

Didn't he also reject us?

I think he will be fine for 2/3 years. At 15-20 Million I think it's a deal I'd be interested in.

Backup? He’d be by far the best player at Utd

Why double someone's wages when you can triple them?
He took a big pay cut to join Atleti form Barca apparently. Only 6 Million euros per year currently. If he came to United he'd command 200k a week easily so 3x his salary is probably not far from the truth if the rumor was in any way accurate.

For how long though? Casemiro was one of the best Cms in the PL last season and probably joint-best player in the United team; this season, not so much Also, the setup of the team has been bad enough that it's made players look worse:- is Griezmann objectively significantly better as a 10/false 9/floating wide forward, than Bruno is as a 10 etc...

Signing a 32 year old Griezmann would be a great way to show we've learned nothing and are determined to keep building to nothing.

Thankfully that link looks like absolute horseshit.

This is the same deal we’ve been making that shouldn’t be happening anymore, no? I don’t think this is true.

phenomenal player, wrong time.

If we are looking for an AM then we should sign someone like Xavi Simons not Antoine Griezmann. I have been scarred way too many times signing these high profile players in their 30’s on big wages.

There are understandable questions regarding fee, wages, age, etc. but on current form he would be without a doubt and by a fair margin your best player.
