Antoine Griezmann is one of those players that has been around for a few years now, but it’s his exploits this season that have really launched him into the worldwide limelight.After moving to Real Sociedad when he was just 18, it was clear that this French-born attacker had something special, and it was only after some particularly fraught conversations with his mother was he allowed to board the plane in the first place. After a number of years playing in the reserve team, Griezmann was given his bow for the seniors, and he's not looked back since, firmly cementing his place in the first-team until Atletico Madrid came sniffing in 2014.They paid a significant sum of around almost £19m for the now France international, and he has repaid the faith shown in him by Diego Simeone by scoring 31 goals in 51 appearances this season. He was an integral part of the team that sent Barcelona out of the Champions League and following his continued impressive form, many have touted him for a move to the Premier League in the very near future.And with Manchester United thought to be willing to pay ‘whatever it takes’, just how good can Griezmann be?Even before he burst onto the international scene, Griezmann was highly thought of in his homeland. He's since confirmed that reputation he had was justified whilst he learnt the traits of the game in San Sebastian, and he's well and truly carried that into the Vicente Calderon. He's a real fans’ favourite, and whilst he's been banging in goals for fun all season, he's got that hard-working edge about him, too. He chases down every ball that runs away from defenders and is a nuisance for the opposing team.So, as he's a striker well and truly in demand, what are the chances of one of Man United coming in with a multi-million pound offer? If Jose Mourinho does in fact take the job at Old Trafford, he will want to stamp his own personality on a rather beleaguered looking United side, and Griezmann could be the man to help.It's a cutthroat market, and after Leicester City's Premier League success this season, the pressure will be on for the Premier League giants to battle back. A player like Griezmann could be the man to help.
