Have Manchester United dodged a bullet in their failure to sign Antoine Griezmann this summer?

FIFA 17’s La Liga Team of the Season suggests so with the £86million man failing to warrant a place in the starting XI.

However three of his Atletico Madrid team-mates were deemed worthy, with Jan Oblak, Felipe Luis and Carrasco making the side.

Griezmann, who was expected to move to Old Trafford this summer but has opted to remain in Spain, is instead included among the substitutes.


In the side are attackers Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, while Bruno Soriano of Villarreal and Toni Kroos of Real Madrid join Luis in midfield.



The defence features Dani Carvajal, Gerard Pique and Sergio Ramos.

Gareth Bale, who struggled with injury during the course of the season, was overlooked entirely. His Real Madrid team-mate Isco, however, made the cut.

It was announced earlier this week that Ronaldo will be the global cover star for the next instalment of the hugely popular game from EA Sports.
