Man Utd transfer news: Jose Mourinho wants Real Madrid star Gareth Bale over Griezmann

MANCHESTER UNITED would prefer to sign Gareth Bale over Antoine Griezmann, reports say.
Manchester United tried to sign Griezmann from La Liga giants Atletico Madrid earlier this summer.

However, Atletico’s transfer ban ultimately saw the France international commit to one more year in Spain.

The Red Devils have also been tipped to sign Gareth Bale regularly throughout the summer despite Real Madrid’s insistence that the 28-year-old will not be going anywhere.

And the Manchester Evening News say the Wales international is the player Jose Mourinho wants more than any other and has been earmarked as a signing in the future.
It is said that United were not too fussed when Griezmann ended up staying at Atletico.

And the reason for this is because Mourinho preferred to go for an attacking forward of Bale’s stature.

However, the Manchester Evening News add that stance could change.




Both players are facing huge seasons at their respective clubs.
Bale, in particularly, is under the spotlight in Spain.

The former Tottenham and Southampton star continues to be plagued by injuries and was booed by supporters in their 2-2 draw with Valencia at the weekend.

The form of Marco Asensio is also prompting any to believe Bale’s best days are behind him.

Fans would no doubt love both players to arrive given their superstar status, with Bale and Griezmann both among the best players in world football.
