Filipe Luis has suggested team-mate Antoine Griezmann flirted with a move to Manchester United last summer in order to get a better contract at Atletico Madrid.
The France forward, who has hinted at a big money switch to Old Trafford on more than one occasion, was one of Jose Mourinho's top transfer targets.
But after Atletico were banned from registering new players until 2018, Griezmann made the decision to stay and signed a new five-year deal worth £235,000-a-week.
But Luis claims the ex-Real Sociedad star was always happy with the La Liga giants and only spoke about United to secure himself the best possible contract.
