Manchester United are expected to sign French forward Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid next summer, according to reports.

The Spanish side are planning to bring back Chelsea striker Diego Costa and if he decides to re-sign his former club, it will give Atletico sanction to sell the French striker.

The Red Devils will have to pay up to £100-million in order to sign Griezmann, who could link up with fellow France team-mate Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial.

Over the course of his career, Griezmann has scored 121 times and has assisted 37 goals from 334 appearances in all competitions playing for the likes of Real Sociedad and  Atletico Madrid.

On an international level, the striker has made 39 appearances and has netted 14 goals since making his debut for the French national team in March 2014 under the guidance of then coach Didier Deschamps.
