For now, at least, Antoine Griezmann joins the list of top players who, after being heavily linked to Manchester United, didn't sign for the club. From Ronaldinho to Wesley Sneijder, Cesc Fabregas to Patrick Kluivert, Mats Hummels to Alan Shearer, plenty have been "on their way to Old Trafford" down the years. And then there's the many names that were never made public at the time; did you know that United once tried to sign Xavi Hernandez?
Griezmann had let United know he was interested in a move and had also told friends that he wanted to join.
