TOP STORY: Man United ready to pounce on Griezmann uncertainty

Antoine Griezmann could be pushed into a January exit if Atletico Madrid cannot resolve their dispute with Barcelona over the terms of the France forward’s loan deal, according to the Athletic. If that’s the case, Manchester United will look to seize an opportunity and reinstate their interest in the 31-year-old after reportedly making an unsuccessful attempt in the summer.

The former Real Sociedad standout is in the second year of his two-year loan spell from the Catalan club after returning to the Metropolitano last summer. However, he has not started a game for Diego Simeone’s side this season and is yet to make an appearance off the bench before the hour mark, with Los Rojiblancos reportedly looking to avoid activating the clause in his arrangement that would make his transfer permanent.

The Blaugrana are reportedly seeking legal action in response, as they continue to demand that their LaLiga rivals pay his €40 million transfer fee, as previously reported by ESPN.
