Plenty of Manchester United fans are becoming more convinced that Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann will become their next big signing.

According to The Independent, the France international has already verbally agreed to join the Red Devils in the summer.

The publication has gone so far as to say that the attacker has even selected his shirt number for the 2017-18 campaign at Old Trafford.

It is understood by The Independent that United are willing to splash out on €100m to seal Griezmann's signature, just one year after they broke the world record to re-sign Paul Pogba for £89m.

Neither club have confirmed or denied that a potential deal is in place, but some United fans feel that the forward, who has netted 12 goals in 25 appearances in all competitions this season, is destined for the number seven shirt vacated by Memphis Depay.

On Wednesday, numerous media outlets, including BBC Sport, reported that United have agreed to sell Depay to Lyon in a £16m deal that includes a buy-back option.

After the news emerged, attention turned to the potential signing of Griezmann.
