Antoine Griezmann’s brother Theo has thrown fuel on the transfer rumour fire regarding Manchester United.
The Atletico Madrid striker has been linked with a move to United for some time, with most reports suggesting Jose Mourinho will step up his pursuit this summer.
Last summer Griezmann dropped his agent and handed his brother Theo the job of looking after his future.
It is Theo’s emphatic response to United’s EFL Cup win on Sunday that has increased belief that the France international will be steered towards Old Trafford in the summer.
Over the course of Sunday’s final Theo Griezmann sent out a number of tweets showing his delight at United’s latest trophy success. When questioned over his allegiance to the club Theo even replied with a childhood picture of himself wearing a United training top.
Antoine has bagged 17 goals for Atletico already this season, including a goal during their impressive win at Bayer Leverkusen last week.
With Wayne Rooney heading towards the Old Trafford exit door and Zlatan Ibrahimovic unlikely to be around forever, the French star would represent the marquee striker United want for their long-term future.
