According to The Athletic, the Premier League club wanted to get the French forward during the summer window but failed to do so due to issues in the player's contract.

However, the future of CR7 at Old Trafford remains doubtful with the player pushing for a desperate move away from the Premier League club. The 37-year-old was linked with plenty of clubs like Chelsea and Bayern Munich despite United's 'not for sale' stance. The Portuguese forward is reportedly unhappy at Manchester due to lack of UEFA Champions League as United missed out on the top European competition due to sixth-place finish last season in the Premier League. However, it remains to be seen whether United really go all the way to rope in Griezmann who has started to find rhythm in La Liga.
