And, secondly, United are now reportedly looking to use the money that they would have spent triggering Griezmann's £87 million release clause to remedy a problem position.
Rather than pursue an expensive No. 10 like Griezmann, Jose Mourinho is apparently keen on bringing another out-and-out No. 9 into his side.
The anterior cruciate ligament injury picked up by Zlatan Ibrahimovic last month would likely keep him out of action for the start of next season, and that's presuming he re-signs with the Red Devils.
Well-connected Telegraph reporter James Ducker provided the update from Old Trafford on Thursday.

While United would ideally like to bring Griezmann and a No. 9 in this summer, it's believed the latter is seen as more important right now by Mourinho.
Torino's Andrea Belotti, Everton's Romelu Lukaku and Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata have all been linked with moves to Old Trafford and any one of that trio would fit the priority position perfectly.
It's going to be a long summer of this.
