Atletico: Man Utd are a small club
Atletico Madrid have dismissed rumours that Antoine Griezmann is set to join Manchester United in the summer - and their president has taken aim at the English club.
Rumours have persisted that the French striker is Jose Mourinho's number one transfer target and that he has accepted an offer to move to the Premier League once Utd activate his £85m release clause when the current season ends.
However, despite the release clause meaning that Atletico would be powerless to stop the 25-year-old moving should he so wish, club president Enrique Cerezo has stated he's not leaving.
"Every time I see Antoine I give him a hug,” he told Spanish radio station COPE . “Antoine is a fantastic player and loves life at Atletico.
“Manchester United? [They are a] Small team.
“I don’t know what Manchester United’s interest is. But Griezmann will be at Atletico for a long time.”
More games than ever before! eir Sport will show 23 live games from the Allianz Leagues, including five triple headers. The eir Sport pack is free to eir residential broadband customers.
