It reports that Griezmann "will demand a staggering £400,000 a week to snub Barcelona and join United."

The France international has been mooted as the subject of an £89 million United bid in the summer but, with Barca also interested, the paper says United "have been told their initial wage offer of £290,000 a week is short of what Griezmann wants."

The forward will "ask for an extra £100,000 a week after seeing the huge sums other stars have gone for," according to the report.

And it quotes "an Old Trafford source" as saying: "The goalposts have moved significantly since the first attempt to sign Griezmann."
