Manchester United Fans Urge Brother of Atletico Madrid Star to Talk Him into Old Trafford Move

Published on: 25 November 2016

With Paul Pogba finally rejoining Manchester United after one of the longest protracted transfer rumours in living memory, the media has been left with a huge hole to fill in their rumours column.


Thankfully - well, maybe not thankfully - the press are still able to put two and two together to make five, and have since linked the Red Devils with a move for Pogba's good friend and international team mate Antoine Griezmann.


Some fans may have scoffed at the idea of the Atletico Madrid striker leaving a club he clearly loves playing for. However, that speculation could, in fact, is set to increase further after Antoine's brother, Theo Griezmann, cheered on United in their Europa League encounter against Feyenoord on Thursday via his Twitter account:

Come onnnn !!!! ROONEYY ���

Let's go man united ��

Does this mean that Griezmann could be on his way to Old Trafford?

No, not really, as this spurious speculation is much more likely to be Theo just expressing his support for United and Rooney.


His tweets did little to stop some United supporters from asking Theo to tell his brother to join the 20-time English league champions though:

@TheoGriezmann your brother should join him at united

@TheoGriezmann imagine Antoine playing off Mkhitaryan and a Pogba! You know this needs to happen!! #mufc

@TheoGriezmann that number 7 is waiting for your bro

@TheoGriezmann Tell your brother to join please. Antoine, Martial, Schneiderlin, Bailly, french speaking connection bro. Please tell him!

Will Antoine Griezmann eventually make a move to the Premier League? And, if he does, will it be to United?


Only time will tell.
