News is breaking in the last half an hour that Manchester United are no longer interested in signing Antoine Griezmann, this summer.
It had been reported, in the immediate aftermath of United’s Europa League victory over Ajax last week, that a deal for the Frenchman was imminent, with Champions League football effectively sealing the deal for a mega money move for the Atletico Madrid forward.
However, James Ducker, Northern football correspondent for The Telegraph, has now reported that, in recent weeks, Jose Mourinho’s priorities have changed due to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s injury, which has prompted Mourinho into wanting another number nine instead of a number 10.
As for which centre forwards are on Mourinho’s shopping list, both Romelu Lukaku and Alvaro Morata’s names have cropped up on numerous rumour pages over the last few weeks, while reports in Italy have claimed over the weekend that a deal for Internazionale wide man Ivan Perisic is on the verge of being completed, too.
