It has been reported now that Premier League giants Manchester United are at present leading the race to sign Chelsea target Antoine Griezmann in the January transfer window. The Blues have been in the hunt to sign the Atletico Madrid forward for quite some time, with manager Jose Mourinho quite keen to strengthen his squad.
The Red Devils were planning to make an official bid for the 24-year-old France international at the end of the current campaign previously though the lack of quality up front in recent times might urge Louis van Gaal’s side to make an offer sooner than expected.
Further, it has also been confirmed by The Express now that United will revive their interest in the attacker in early 2016, as they look to beat the west London side and bring him to Old Trafford. The report further adds that the Manchester-based side are the favourites now to trigger his £57m release clause with the champions of England first looking to solve the crisis regarding their poor current form.
