Griezmann signed Mbappe for Newcastle on Football Manager and they won it all

Yes, manage. That's because France and Atletico Madrid star has already proven he can coach the Magpies to unparalleled success if backed in the transfer market.

One lucky manager will soon get the biggest blank cheque in football history after the Toon were bought by a Saudi-led consortium, backed by the Public Investment Fund and its estimated worth of more than £300billion.

Even Steve Bruce admits he will probably be replaced and Antonio Conte, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard have all been mentioned as candidates - but have any of them won a quintuple with the Magpies?

Like The Simpsons and every big event in history, Griezmann seemingly predicted the Toon takeover last summer and played it out on Football Manager.

After signing Kylian Mbappe for €134million, Griezmann's Newcastle won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Community Shield and the Super Cup by 2027.

Amanda Staveley, the businesswoman behind the takeover, said she expects Newcastle to win the title within five to ten years. Well, Griezmann's CV speaks for itself.

In actual real life, the forward suggested the idea of Newcastle to Mbappe, who didn't seem overly keen.

Giving a rather perplexed look, the forward simply replied: "Newcastle, where? It's not very warm there, eh?"

However, like all great managers, Griezmann is determined.

After news of the takeover was announced, the Frenchman posted an image of him and Mbappe holding up a Newcastle shirt on Instagram…
