Will Griezmann link up well with Zlatan upfront? Exciting times for us
Underrated player.
Ahh right. Makes perfect sense in that context.
He has a release clause which they probably weren't willing to pay
Agent Schneiderlin make it happen.
Remember when LVG said our secret striker had not been one of the names commonly quoted by the media 
ehheheh
ehheheh
Would love him here are United, but simply cannot see Woody playing that massive buyout.
Would be a great signing.
Per whoscored,
Greizmann scored 15 goals in 1361 minutes(17 apps) last season when he played as a striker. Meaning 1 goal every 90.73 minutes. Very clinical stuff.

Why not?
We've only seen a net spend of £20million this summer, we're now stupidly loaded because of the Adidas deal, talent wise Griezmann is one of the hottest forward prospects, and Woody has already shown not to be shy to break the British transfer record last summer if it warrants it.
If we want him there's no reason we can't get him.
But chelsea have pedro.
Zlatan
Mane Griezmann Pedro
Schweinsteiger Schinderin
Alves Ramos Otamendi Clyne
Romero
Vidal on the bench?
Should he be a target or shouldnt he?. (I think 100% yes)
The guy is a Man Utd fan to boot.

Manchester United transfer news and rumours
Manchester United are considering a move for Atletico Madrid forwardAntoine Griezmann after failing to land Pedro.
United were left red-faced on Wednesday when Chelsea hijacked their attempts to sign the Spaniard, and now Louis van Gaal is having to quickly look for alternatives.
According to The Mail, United are admirers of Griezmann, who featured for France at the last World Cup.
Atletico though have inserted a £56m buy out clause in the player's contract, which could put even the big spending United off.
Griezmann has also been linked with a move to Chelsea, but that now appears unlikely after yesterday's dramatic swoop for Pedro.
The exciting attacker had an excellent first season in Spain and scored 25 goals playing mainly out wide and behind the striker.
Another alternative to Pedro is Southampton's Sadio Mane, according toThe Telegraph.
The paper reported yesterday that United made a bid for the Senegal international last week and are considering making a second one.
The figure offered last week was in the region of £15m, and Southampton are insisting that he is not for sale.
United though have raided the Saints for Luke Shaw and Morgan Schneiderlin over the last two summers, and Van Gaal is reportedly keen to force a deal through for Mane.
A less likely signing, though one that continues to be speculated about, is that of Thomas Muller from Bayern Munich.
According to The Star, Muller will be allowed to leave the Allianz Arena, but only if he puts in a transfer request.
Thomas Muller looks likely to stay in Munich this summer
The noises coming out of Munich however suggests that there's little chance of a deal happening, with the club's sporting executive Matthias Sammer rubbishing the speculation.
"His performances have caused a stir, not Thomas,” said Sammer.
Earlier in the summer Bayern’s CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge made it clear Muller would not be leaving, and Sammer reiterated that yesterday.
“We can’t be blamed for anything," he said. "Rummenigge was right when pointing out that he is a player who has no price tag.”
Finally, recently signed goalkeeper Sergio Romero says he wants David de Gea to stay at Old Trafford, according to talkSPORT.
"The truth is that I have no idea [if he will leave], but for me I hope that De Gea stays here because he's a good team-mate who always works hard and that is best for the group," the Argentinian goalkeeper said.

Griezmann has made a lot of noise about being happy at atletico. Seems unlikely he would move this summer.
We should stop fantasising about Muller, and go for this guy.
Although I have reservations about whether we'd be able to haggle well enough, or quick enough before some other plastic, 'freshly-released-from-FFP' club comes and completes the transfer in a normal, non-dithering way.

Make it happen, Woody! In Ed we trust.
but he does support Utd so that would be the perfect motivation to start pining for a move regardless of how happy he is there.
Yeah he is a very good finisher, quite composed when he's 1v1 with the GK.

He said: “I know that some English clubs are looking at me and Manchester United is on that list. It’s nice to hear that but it doesn’t influence my work.”
Griezmann, who has come up through the junior ranks at Real Sociedad, added: “Ryan Giggs is one of my football heroes. But now Wayne Rooney to me is the main man at Manchester United.”
Griezmann talking 2 years ago before his move to Atletico Madrid. Also he's a United fan and with Giggs as assistant manager and Rooney up front it's all plausible he could join, but for £56m would he be worth that amount?

Journos adding 2+2. "So Pedro is done. We've already done the bale to United business....let's move on to another La Liga star to United".
Plus he seems very happy at Atletico. Maybe there's pictures of him holding a United shirt when younger, but we'd need to spend a fortune to get him here. Atletico will have no need to sell - they can't necessarily buy many available players that could replace his quality.

Love the fact that he seems to be a fan of the club. Would be great to have another serious goal threat on the team and he's got great technique and is fun to watch.
They could sell Greizemann to us and with the funds they could buy Draxler and still have a few £ left over.
plus there is Schneiderlin at the club who he probably is friends with etc. Everything in place to bed him in properly. Plus Bastian fecking Schweinsteiger to boot who seems to now be a dressing room favorite.
I seriously hope LVG likes this guy, he is just what we need up top.
I'd be amazed if he is not a United player by teatime.
you're so old.
I absolutely love your optimism and I pray to god your correct. What an amazing transfer this would be.Ffs the media don't know anything, they just move on to the next player just like how we were supposed to go for Fabinho.
I can't see Atletico letting him leave. Fantastic player though.

Would give my left bollock for him.
Memphis on the left cutting in on his right
griezmann on the right cutting in on his left.
It's the stuff of dreams and unfortunately that's where it'll stay,
Must.....not.....get.....drawn....in.

Would rather United spent the money on an out and out striker, Griezemann is like Depay who cuts in from the left of midfield and I'm not sure he's what we need. Unless of course we buy Griezemann and a striker. The midfield options we have is scary, to think Herrera was fantastic last season and can't get a start this season so far, I'd much rather focus on a striker imho
That would be fantastic but it is not very realistic. We could have purchased him for a lower buyout clause so why should be pay a higher fee now?
Mane or Felipe Anderson seem like more likely alternative targets, though with Lazio we might wait to see if they are out of the CL as if they are Anderson would not be cup tied. They play Leverkusen on 26th August have a 1:0 advantage from the home first leg.
I like the look of Bernardo Silva of Monaco too.

True, because as soon as my lunch is done it will be almost immediately teatime. Time goes so fecking fast at my age.
We're not signing him. We're not signing anyone. Depay or Januzaj will get injured and we'll spend the entire season camped outside the opposition's penalty box punting the ball out wide so it can be crossed in because we can't break teams down the centre, then LVG will complain about us not having enough pace up front. Rooney will be this season's Falcao, but because he's captain he won't be replaced until around Christmas time and end up falling out with LVG. This will result in a split in the dressing room headed by two warring factions led by Rooney and new captain Schweinsteiger. Carrington will be turned into a battlefield as orange cones and those bra things the players wear are strewn in between ripped off parts of Fred the Red, as LVG loses his mind and starts screaming "Burn them! Burn them all!"
He played mostly as a striker last season though.
Still can't see him joining us.
I demand that we buy him NOW and put a stop to this ceaseless embarassment that I feel as a United fan.
Frankly I think we have closed the transfer already. No more signing. Lvg will use youngster more often imo
De Gea + 15m would be a good deal, right?
He's as good as KDB, we should be all over him.
