Antoine Griezmann will only consider a move to Manchester United if their polarising talisman Paul Pogba remains there, according to one French football expert.
Julien Laurens says that the attacker is not keen on a move to England, favouring to stay put in Spain instead.
But it is thought that United are looking to reignite their interest in the France international this summer, having made a failed attempt two seasons ago.
Griezmann moved to the Nou Camp last summer from Atletico Madrid after they met his buyout clause of £107million.
His inaugural season in Catalonia has been met with some mixed displays, the striker tallying 14 goals across all competitions in 37 appearances.
But Laurens has said that the Barca move has ultimately been a flop for the former Real Sociedad player.
“I’d be very amazed [if Griezmann joined United],” Laurens told ESPN FC.
“Okay, it hasn’t really worked out for him at Barcelona so far this season.
“Why would you let him go? And from what we were told before, he never wanted to go to England anyway.”
He continued: “His wife Erika doesn’t want to move out of Spain, he’s very happy in Spain, Spain is his second country but probably more his country than France and I don’t really think England is really appealing to him.”
The expert then revealed that the key to unlocking a move to Old Trafford could be through Pogba, who has been nursing an injury since United’s 4-1 Boxing Day victory over Newcastle United, and who has been linked with a move away from the north-west.
He added: “The thing that could appeal for him to go to Manchester United is Paul Pogba.
“But I’m not sure how much guarantee he will have that Paul Pogba will still be there next season.
“However, if there is a guarantee that Pogba will still be there, then I think Griezmann will love to play with his best mate Pogba at club level as well as the national team.
“But apart from that, I can’t see Griezmann going to Manchester United at all.”
