Antoine Griezmann’s brother seems to be aware of the stories linking his brother with a move to Old Trafford.
Theo Griezmann’s tweet mocking former United player Memphis Depay earlier this week went down well with fans of Manchester United, who are desperate for the club to sign Antoine from Atletico Madrid.
Theo took a dig at Depay on Twitter, following the Dutch winger’s debut for Lyon.

He wasn’t finished yet though, and sent another United-themed tweet on Tuesday.
Theo tweeted a photograph of Old Trafford to his followers on Twitter.

The tweet could be an attempt to wind-up eager United fans, who are looking for signs regarding Antoine’s next move.
The Atletico Madrid forward has been linked with a €90m move from Atletico to United in the summer, and it’s easy to see why the club would want him at Old Trafford.
Griezmann was named best player at Euro 2016, where he was also top scorer.
The French forward scored 32-goals in 54-games last season. He would instantly improve Jose Mourinho’s team, who have, at times this season, struggled to finish their chances.
United fans on social media took his younger brother’s bait and replied in their droves.
Stop it @TheoGriezmann
