Five reasons why Antoine Griezmann will definitely join Manchester United

#4: Manchester United need a striker

Rooney's departure has increased United's need for Griezmann.

Manchester United spent lavishly this summer, recruiting Romelu Lukaku, Nemanja Matic, and Victor Lindelof for a sum of nearly £150 million. Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney has returned to Everton from United, leaving behind a willingness to splash another £100 odd million on Griezmann, owing to their needs of having a top class striker.

Romelu Lukaku had a dream start at Old Trafford, netting four goals in four matches for the club. But, clinical finishing still remains a problem for Manchester United. Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku have missed a handful of chances due to lack of finishing accuracy.

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic not returning until the second half of the season, this condition is a crucial concern for Mourinho.

Grizou, on the other hand, has a penchant for scoring goals. He would certainly be the spearhead of the Red Devils' attack if he joins them. It would certainly help him score more goals.

Ibrahimovic is expected to return within the next few months, but the Swede is getting no younger and will retire soon. In the meantime, Grizou will be allowed to play on the flanks. He will be the obvious first choice, ahead of Rashford and fellow compatriot Anthony Martial.
