Manchester United are one of a number of Premier League clubs said to be monitoring French attacker Antoine Griezmann with a view to a potential January swoop.
The Athletic claims that United looked into the possibility of signing Griezmann in the summer only to switch targets.
The 31-year-old is in his second spell at Atletico Madrid but this season has seen him restricted to a bit-part role, similar to that of Cristiano Ronaldo at United. Griezmann has made seven appearances for Diego Simeone's side but each has come from the substitutes' bench.
