Despite boasting a host of star forwards, United have managed just 13 goals in 12 Premier League games this season, leaving them with a goal difference of -3.

According to Metro UK, the attack of Rasmus Hojlund, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Alejandro Garnacho have just one Premier League goal between them this season.

This has since sparked the need for another prolific striker, with reports claiming United are looking in the direction of Griezmann to solve their challenges in front of the goal.

Will Grizmann join Man United?

However, the Red Devils seemingly have no chance of landing the France international.

This is according to Romano, who has disclosed that the 32-year-old has no intention of leaving the Spanish club.

"For Griezmann, I want to clarify that he is not leaving Atletico Madrid," he said. From what I am told, he is in love with Atletico Madrid - the city, the fans, his teammates, the coach [Diego] Simeone. He is not leaving," Sportbible quoted Romano as saying.
"He was approached by Saudi clubs in the summer and he decided to reject them, not even to negotiate because he was in love with life at Atletico. I don’t think he is going to be tempted by any offers from around Europe, especially in January," the Italian journalist added.

The seven oldest goal scorers in Premier League history

Still in Premier League news, Sports Brief covered the seven oldest players to have scored a goal in Premier League history.

Chelsea defender Thiago Silva’s goal against Manchester City in the entertaining 4-4 draw over the weekend placed him on the list, with the likes of Ryan Giggs and Teddy Sheringham.
