The Man Utd Griezmann deal and who could lose their place if he joins.
With growing speculation that the Man Utd Griezmann could be on today, here’s a look at five of the Red Devils’ attacking players who could lose their place in the team if the world class French winger signs before the deadline…
1) Wayne Rooney
Previously a star player for Manchester United, it is Wayne Rooney’s lack of goals that has led the club to pursue a big name like Griezmann this summer, and if the Frenchman plays up front, then the England captain would surely struggle to get back in the team.

2) Memphis Depay
A superb signing out wide, Memphis Depay could even struggle to ensure he plays regularly if Griezmann takes a place as part of the front three.
3) Juan Mata
Like Griemann, Juan Mata is a versatile attacking player who could occupy a number of different roles at Old Trafford this season, but is there enough room in the starting line up for both of them?
4) Ashley Young
Used at both left-back and midfield last season, Ashley Young does not have clearly defined role in the starting XI so far this season, but there’s no doubt the winger doesn’t score enough and could lose his place if Griezmann arrives.
5) Marouane Fellaini
With talk that United could use Marouane Fellaini as a surprise striker this season, there’s no doubt this strange tactical move would surely go out of the window if a world class player like Griezmann joined.
