Rio Ferdinand wants Manchester United to sign Gareth Bale and Antoine Griezmann. Both had been linked with United earlier.
United are believed to be planning mega swoop for Griezmann in the summer. With Wayne Rooney’s future uncertain, Mourinho wants to strengthen his attack and has targeted the French forward.
The Frenchman would command a fee of around £100million and that shouldn’t be a problem for the club who signed Paul Pogba for a world record fee of £84m from Juventus.
However, an offer for Gareth Bale is not looking imminent as the Real Madrid star has a whopping £900m release clause in his contract. He recently signed a long-term contract which makes him one of the best-paid players in Europe.
Ferdinand said, “Manchester United have got the money, I’d go get both.
“They’re great players but I don’t think they’re comparable to be honest
“They’re different players.
“Gareth could play anywhere across the front-line. He’d be effective anywhere – from the right to the left, central.
“Griezmann obviously [would play] as the number nine, but right now might be too early. Ibrahimovic is banging in goals.
“If they became available, Manchester United have to be in that.”
