Barcelona 'are willing to accept £90m bid' for World Cup winner Antoine Greizmann with Manchester United on red alert and flop Alexis Sanchez's No 7 shirt 'ready and waiting'

Manchester United are readying an ambitious swoop for Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann, with the Spanish giants prepared to sell him for £90million.

The French star only arrived at the Nou Camp last summer has not yet made the impact that was hoped of him, and now Barca are willing to cash in as part of a wider revamp of the squad.

Now United are ready to pounce and want to recruit Griezmann as their marquee signing and show their confidence in his ability by giving him the famous number seven shirt - currently owned by flop Alexis Sanchez, according to Mundo Deportivo.
