Talks between Griezmann and United confirmed

The Spanish program 'El Partidazo de COPE' assured that the Atletico Madrid player has initiated talks with the Red Devils, who have been behind the striker for some time now.

Griezmann himself revealed in an interview on French TV that he has a 'six out of ten' chance of joining Mourinho's side next season.

However, the move will depend greatly on whether or not Atletico's transfer ban is lifted, with the Spanish club expecting an answer from the refereeing tribunal on the 30th of May.

If the suspension is cleared, the club managed by Simeone would be willing to let their star go, in order to go on a spending spree when they receive 100 million euros from Manchester. It will be a whole different story if they continue to be barred from signing players.

Another factor to bear in mind depends on the Europa League final between Manchester United and Ajax. If the Red Devils lift the trophy and achieve Champions League qualification, the chances of Frenchman's arrival would increase drastically.
