| Manchester United are set to step up their pursuit of Atletico Madrid star Griezmann |
Antoine Griezmann's image advisor has admitted a move to Manchester United would make commercial sense for the Atletico Madrid star.
France international Griezmann, 25, is one of the world's most coveted forwards and while United denied French reports last week that they had already agreed personal terms, Jose Mourinho has previously made his interest clear.
Atletico would be reluctant sellers but they would be powerless if United trigger the player's £86million release clause, while Griezmann has previously welcomed the chance to play alongside Old Trafford star Paul Pogba.
It emerged last week that United are ready to bankroll the £130m summer signings of Griezmann and Victor Lindelof that Mourinho feels will make them champions.
Mourinho is determined to get business done early in the close-season and has prioritised Atletico's Griezmann to bring more firepower and Lindelof of Benfica to stiffen the defence.
The United manager believes if his side are to win the Premier League for the first time since 2013, it is vital to improve the squad.
