Antoine Griezmann has watered down reports of a possible move to Manchester United, expressing that he wants to become a legend of Atletico Madrid.
Griezmann has been fantastic with the Colchoneros since he rejoined the club from Barcelona on July 1, 2023, for a fee of €20 million.
Antoine Griezmann has been sublime in attack this campaign, scoring 12 goals and providing 1 assist in 16 appearances across all competitions.
The Frenchman has in the past been linked with a move to Manchester United, during the reign of Jose Mourinho as manager.
However, Griezmann opted to join Barcelona on July 14, 2019, for a staggering €120 million.
He failed to deliver at Camp Nou, scoring just 35 goals and providing 17 assists in 102 appearances.
Antoine Griezmann has picked himself back up, following his return to Atletico Madrid and he has assured the fans that he is focused on being a legend of the Colchoneros.
Griezmann has scored 169 goals and provided 77 assists in 357 appearances across all competitions for Atletico Madrid.
Speaking in an interview with Spanish media outlet, Marca, Antoine Griezmann insisted that his commitment lies at the Spanish capital.
He said: “I’ve to earn myself to be a legend in this club. That’s my mission. By 2024 I want to bring joy to the fans and some titles for Atlético. It would be a dream.”
Griezmann has been a long-term target of Manchester United, who would have to at this point turn their eye away from him.
Erik Ten Hag is looking to improve his attacking department and this statement from Antoine Griezmann could be a massive blow.
The Red Devils have found it hard to score goals this campaign, with a litany of goals being spread around the team.
Summer signing Rasmus Hojlund has blossomed in the UEFA Champions League but has not been able to replicate such form in the English Premier League.
Marcus Rashford is yet to hit the ground running this campaign, alongside Antony, who joined Manchester United from Ajax in the 2022 summer transfer window.
Their poor output in front of goal has affected the Red Devils this campaign, with only one attacker scoring for the club so far this season.
Marcus Rashford's goal against Arsenal in September 2023, remains the only goal to have come from a Manchester United attacker in the Premier League this campaign.
Meanwhile, Antoine Griezmann's Atletico Madrid sit 3rd on the La Liga table, with 31 points from 13 league matches.
Griezmann also had his name on the score sheet in their game against Mallorca, scoring the decisive goal of the game in the 64th minute.
Atletico Madrid return to action next on Tuesday, November 28, 2023, with an away Champions League encounter against Feyenoord.
