Antoine Griezmann at Manchester United in David Beckham's No 7 shirt would be 'ideal commercial scenario', says Atletico Madrid star's advisor
* Manchester United are preparing to step up their pursuit of Antoine Griezmann
* Jose Mourinho wants to do summer business early and is chasing French star
* Griezmann's image advisor says a move to United makes commercial sense
* France international Griezmann, 25, is one of the world's most coveted forwards
Antoine Griezmann's image advisor has admitted a move to Manchester United would make commercial sense for the Atletico Madrid star.
France international Griezmann, 25, is one of the world's most coveted forwards and while United denied French reports last week that they had already agreed personal terms, Jose Mourinho has previously made his interest clear.
Atletico would be reluctant sellers but they would be powerless if United trigger the player's £86million release clause, while Griezmann has previously welcomed the chance to play alongside Old Trafford star Paul Pogba.
Antoine Griezmann's image advisor said Manchester United move makes commercial sense. Griezmann's idol is David Beckham, and his agent is keen to see him in the same No 7 shirt
And Sebastien Bellencontre, the former Real Sociedad star's image consultant, says a move to the Premier League giants would benefit all parties.
Speaking to So Foot magazine, he said: 'When I read articles about a hypothetical transfer to Manchester United I think it would be the ideal commercial scenario.
'He would play at Beckham's former club, which is his idol, with the same legendary number on his back.
'Beyond sports, Paris Saint-Germain would be interesting at Franco-French level, but he already has international trajectory with the selection.'
It emerged last week that United are ready to bankroll the £130m summer signings of Griezmann and Victor Lindelof that Mourinho feels will make them champions.
Mourinho is determined to get business done early in the close-season and has prioritised Atletico's Griezmann to bring more firepower and Lindelof of Benfica to stiffen the defence.
The United manager believes if his side are to win the Premier League for the first time since 2013, it is vital to improve the squad.
