If you’re a big club you need a big star to put you in front of every single headline on a weekly – or daily – basis. So, the greatest teams in the world need to always be on the hunt for the world-class talented players in order to become the major forces they are.
Having said that, a team that’s currently on the hunt of becoming a superstar legacy side is Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United, as the Red Devils have made several great purchases of world class players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba while developing others like David de Gea.
So, after several seasons failing to reach the top spot of the English Premier League despite making huge investments in the transfer markets, the Glazers are ready to break the bank one more time in order to finally acquire the superstar who will take them to a whole new level.
But, who could that player be? As you know Cristiano Ronaldo loves the club but isn’t leaving Real Madrid any time soon, and Lionel Messi’s very likely to renew and extend his stay at Nou Camp until the end of his career, so: who’s left?
Here is the answer: Antoine Griezmann. “The Prince” has been arguably the third best player in the world since his arrival at Vicente Calderon from Real Sociedad, taking Diego Simeone’s team to a steady contender level and even reaching the UEFA Champions League finals.
Manchester United should definitely pursue this guy, as the 25-year-old from France is one of the most devastating striker in the world right now and considering how young he is, how durable and talented he is, there is literally no reasons available for United to not go for him in the upcoming transfer window.
Griezmann has made over 32 appearances over the season between Atletico de Madrid and France, and the forward has managed to score 16 goals to go along with 8 assists, being the most determinant player for his team every single time he stepped on the pitch.
On top of that, Antoine has shown to be one of the most versatile attackers in the world, as he can play on either flank of the offensive front, or behind the striker, or as a pure 9 for his team with great ease and success. United can do with such versatility in the attacking front.
Last but not least, that 60 million transfer could practically pay itself with Griezmann merchandise, as the Frenchman would instantly become an icon at Old Trafford, and we feel it is the right time for him to make a move to a team with a great history like Manchester United after being successful in the Spanish league. Match made in heaven but will it happen real on Earth?
