Manchester United 'trying to hijack Barcelona's Antoine Griezmann move'

Manchester United make a late attempt to convince Atletico Madrid attacker Antoine Griezmann to join the Red Devils, according to a report.

Manchester United are reportedly making a late attempt to convince Atletico Madrid attacker Antoine Griezmann to move to Old Trafford in this summer's transfer window.

Griezmann has reportedly agreed a five-year contract with Barca and could officially join the Spanish champions in a £107m deal on July 1.

According to The Sun, though, United are refusing to give up on their pursuit of the France international, who announced earlier this summer that he would be leaving the Wanda Metropolitano.

The report claims that United are attempting to convince Griezmann that Neymar is Barca's leading target this summer, which could see the Catalan giants pull the plug on a move for the 2018 World Cup winner at the final moment.

The attacker has scored 133 goals in 257 appearances for Atletico since arriving at Diego Simeone's side from Real Sociedad in 2014.

United could be in the market for a new forward in this summer's transfer window with Romelu Lukaku still being strongly linked with a move to Inter Milan.
