Under the management of Louis van Gaal, Manchester United have splashed heavy cash but failed to adequately reinforce their attack.
Proven quality players like Di Maria, Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez were allowed to leave last summer and youngsters like Depay and Martial were signed.
The Red Devils must sign a world class attacker if they are to have any chance of winning the title next season. Once again, French international Antoine Griezmann is in the limelight.
Man United were linked with a move to sign the versatile attacker last year as well (Metro via Fichajes).
Now, as per the latest reports in the Spanish media (El Confidencial), United are willing to pay whatever it takes to finally hire the services of the Atletico Madrid attacker.
Griezmann scored the decisive goal of the tie last night against Bayern Munich in the Champions League and has netted no fewer than 31 goals this season. Over all, he has scored 108 club goals in his career so far (Transfermarkt).
Simeone knows that the 25-year-old attacker is a “Brilliant” (Goal) player and will not let him leave easily. As per the provided El Confidencial link, Antoine has got a release clause of 80 million Euros in his contract.
In your opinion, should Man United splash the cash to sign the Les Bleus attacker.

Problem is that LVG is too cowardly to bench Rooney and Carrick……they slow the team down with sideways/negative passing and possession for Rooney is something alien due to his poor ball control, for such a highly rated English player, seems ludicrous.
Hopefully the new manager is brave enough to get rid of them from the 1st team and revive the old man utd attacking style of days gone by.
I think lingaard is playing at a wrong number. he is efficient at the right flank than no. 10.Asking him to do so is a big burden for someone to score goals yet is good as a playmaker than striker. Watch his face when he cant score, tells you that number is tough for a young lad used to give assists.
Rooney and the rest of the attacking four should shoot when near or inside 18 yard box. This at least can guarantee more than two goals in a match.coz more shots at goal means more goals.
