Manchester United spends £100 million to reserve the number 7 shirt for Griezmann.

After failing to sign Griezmann in the 2017 summer transfer window, Manchester United will return next year. The club has even prepared the number 7 shirt for the French striker.

This summer, Manchester United failed to sign their number one target, Griezmann. One of the main reasons the French striker couldn't join MU was his desire to stay and help Atletico Madrid, given the club's transfer ban until January 2018.

MU are determined to sign Griezmann next summer.

However, Griezmann's agent also revealed that his client is very keen to move to Old Trafford. This opens up the possibility for MU to acquire the French striker next summer.

Naturally, MU doesn't want to miss this opportunity either. According to sources in the English press, the Red Devils have prepared £100 million to "attack" Griezmann. It's worth emphasizing that the French striker's contract includes a clause stating that if he stays at the club until Summer 2018, his release clause will be reduced to £100 million.

This is a great opportunity for MU to acquire Griezmann. Some sources in England even claim that MU has already prepared to welcome the striker born in 1991 by offering him the club's legendary number 7 shirt. This is also Griezmann's number at Atletico Madrid and for the French national team.

This shirt number has been associated with a host of famous figures at Old Trafford such as George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo... However, over the years, those who have worn this shirt have not been successful due to the immense pressure (Michael Owen, Antonio Valencia, Di Maria, Memphis Depay). To the point that, at this time, not many players are willing to take it on.
