Rumours: Manchester United step up interest in French wizard who’s scored in 72% of games

Antoinne Griezmann

Manchester United have joined Tottenham and Juventus in the chase for Real Socidad star Antoine Griezmann, according to the Daily Express.

The French winger has been in superb form for Real Sociedad and the La Liga outfit could be prepared for a sale in the January transfer window.

The Daily Express claims to have obtained an exclusive from the player himself who admitted that David Moyes has identified the attacker as a priority target.

“I know that some English clubs are looking at me and Manchester United is on that list,” Griezmann told the paper. ”It’s nice to hear that but it doesn’t influence my work.”

However, Mundo Deportivo suggests that United could face competition from Juventus for the 22-year-old, who is also thought to interest Tottenham.

Griezmann has a £25 million buyout clause inserted into his contract at Real Sociedad, which runs to 2016.

The winger has been in sensational form for his club with eight goals in 11 games, with a superb conversion rate of 29.6 per cent.
