Manchester United opens talk with La Liga star ahead of summer move, see the Star below.

​The January transfer window hasn’t even opened yet but Manchester United are already putting the wheels in motion for a potentially massive transfer to take place next summer.

 Not content with splashing out on Paul Pogba, Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan last summer, it looks like the Red Devils are set to open their chequebook again to entice another major star to Old Trafford.

According to the Sun, Jose Mourinho has told club officials that their next priority must be signing a No. 10 who can link up play between midfield and attack to bring the best out of both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Pogba.

And they aren’t wasting any time. The same report in the British tabloid claims that the Red Devils have not only picked their desired target but actually opened talks with the player.

The Sun understand Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann is the subject of Man United’s pursuit and believe they have asked a leading agent to negotiate a deal for the striker.
