Antoine Griezmann will STAY at Atletico Madrid and snub Manchester United after admitting he ‘loves Diego Simeone’ and is ‘very comfortable’ there
The French striker has given the biggest indication he will stay at the Vicente Calderon and reject the Premier League
MANCHESTER UNITED have been dealt a HUGE blow after Antoine Griezmann gave the biggest hint yet that he will stay at Atletico Madrid.
Jose Mourinho is believed to have put the French forward at the top of his summer shopping list, but that list looks like it may need ripping up and starting afresh.
Griezmann has opened up on life at the Vicente Calderon, saying that he is "very comfortable" there and that he "loves manager Diego Simeone".
In an interview with Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, the 26-year-old said: “I am very comfortable here and now have to meet my representative with Miguel Angel Gil Marin and see what happens.
"You have to talk about yourself.
“I am happy. If I am happy in my personal life I will be happy in the professional.
