Manchester United set to trigger Antoine Griezmann’s release clause

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is looking to add some cutting edge to his attack and has identified Antonio Griezmann as his priority target this summer.

According to Manchester Evening News, the Old Trafford boss is set to trigger the Atletico Madrid’s star release clause and the club hierarchy are optimistic about signing the French forward.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is out of contract this summer and there are indications of a renewal just yet. It seems Mourinho has chosen Griezmann as his first choice forward for next season.

The 26 year old is one of the best players in the world right now and he would be a worthy replacement for Ibrahimovic.
