You simply can't get away from the Antoine Griezmann to Manchester United rumours. They are everywhere.

Reports appeared to confirm that the Premier League side have been in discussions for 'several months' over a move for the French international.

The report also says that Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette is Atletico's top target should Griezmann leave the Vicente Calderon in the summer.
