Antoine Griezmann has talked up Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba

The France superstar today revealed he’d love to play club football with Paul Pogba.

And he dropped another big Old Trafford hint by saying he is always asking about Manchester United.

It sent the rumour mill into overdrive and United fans are dreaming.

Shortly after the quotes came to light a poster made a thread on popular fans’ forum RedCafe.netentitled: “Antoine Griezmann.”

It’s already been read hundreds of times and supporters have high hopes.

One wrote: “This looks like it is going to happen.

“How would he fit in our current set up though? I really don't want to force him out wide as that nullifies many of the qualities which makes him one of the best footballers in the world.

“Could can you play Griezmann in his second striker position as well as fitting Pogba into the same team?”

Another wrote: “I’d love this to happen. Griezmann, Rashford and Martial as a front three.”

One United fan is convinced it’s going through and wrote: “Let’s face it. he's wanted to come here for years now. it's no secret.”

His views were echoed by another supporter who posted: “These are the players we want, not just pump big money into players who are happy to go to the biggest bidder.

Another simply wrote: “Dead cert.”

But one fan is sceptical and said: “He will get the Henrikh Mkhitaryan treatment.”

Griezmann shared a photograph of himself and his compatriot Pogba on Twitter yesterday in which they were sat on the back of a golf buggy, with the caption: "End of the day, we go back to the Castle."

The pair are currently on international duty together ahead of Friday's World Cup qualifier against Sweden at Stade de France.

And he said: "I always ask Paul Pogba about Manchester United. I think they are a huge club with a really good infrastructure.

"I ask Paul about some of the players, and if they're really that good, or if Jose Mourinho is really that good.

"You hear a lot of things (speculation) about Manchester United and Paris St Germain but right now I don't see me moving to a new club. But It would be awesome to play alongside Paul one day."
