Man Utd closing in on Griezmann

Cape Town - Manchester United are closing in for Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann wit

According to a Manchester Evening News report, Jose Mourinho is on the verge of capturing his top transfer target in a £86 million deal with Griezmann the most coveted player in Europe.
Diego Simeone and Atletico Madrid would be powerless to stop the transfer of their prized asset if United trigger Griezmann's ‎€100 million (£86 million) buy-out clause.
Griezmann has been coy on a protracted move to England and cited the bad English weather as a reason that he would not be moving to the English Premiership.
"There are many doubts about my private life. There is rain, bad weather... I need to be happy outside," The 25-year old said.
Mourinho views Griezmann as a match-winner who can transform his side with Wayne Rooney set to leave United to return to boyhood club Everton.

Controversy and hiccups have dogged the sprawling trial alleging criminal conspiracy since jury selection began in January, notably over the state’s presentation of rap lyrics as evidence. The US state of Georgia holds that Young Thug’s record label, YSL, is a front for a crime ring, arguing that the defendants belong to a branch of the Bloods street gang identified as Young Slime Life, or YSL. “The evidence will show that YSL checks all of the boxes for being a criminal street gang,” said Fulton County prosecutor Adriane Love as she delivered the government’s statement, which she began by quoting Rudyard Kipling’s “Law of the Jungle.” Love addressed the issue of songwriting head on: “We didn’t chase the lyrics to solve the murder, we chased the murder and found the lyrics...
