This world-class star will join Manchester United under one condition
By Bence Bocsak
According to the latest reports, this world-class Manchester United target is prepared to join the Red Devils if they will meet his one condition.
From the days of Eric Cantona, French players have always excelled at Manchester United. It’s like a match made in heaven. Think of the likes of Fabian Barthez and Patrice Evra who became adored by the Stretford End.
Barcelona and Manchester United are two of the biggest footballing institutions in the world. Over the years a fair few players have donned both the Red Devils’ crimson red and the red and blue stripes of the Catalans.
From the likes of Mark Hughes, Jordi Cruyff to Gerard Pique and Alexis Sanchez.
Antoine Griezmann and his mercurial talents could be the latest one. The French attacking midfielder has been linked with a move to Old Trafford in the summer.

And what a move that could be. Griezmann is the epitome of what a world class footballer needs to be.
He has the flair, the pace and the vision. Add to that a venomous shot and an ability to thread through balls to his team-mates through needle-thin spaces, Griezmann is the real deal.
His uncanny hairstyles and peculiar celebrations often draw him attention. But he has shrugged the negativity and the criticism aside.
Antoine Griezmann thrives in the spotlight.
To emulate a former French idol in Eric Cantona would surely be an enticing prospect for the Frenchman.
But ESPN journalist Julien Laurens via the Daily Express has claimed that Antoine Griezmann will only move to United if his fellow Frenchman and dear friend, Paul Pogba remains at Old Trafford in the summer too.
That will be somewhat of a concern for the Red Devils. Pogba’s situation at United is tenuous and the French midfielder’s future is uncertain.
While in recent weeks, tensions have seemed to cool between Paul Pogba and the Red Devils, it is yet to be seen on the pitch.
Nonetheless, if Paul Pogba remains and Barcelona decide to get rid of Antoine Griezmann it could be huge for the club.
Griezmann’s and Pogba’s partnership has been deadly at international level. The pair of them were crucial in leading France to World Cup glory in 2018.
More of the same would be very welcome at United.
