Atletico president rubbishes Griezmann to Man Utd talk: They're a small team!

The Liga club appear determined to do everything they can to keep hold of the 25-year-old striker pointing to the player's contract signed until 2021

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has branded Manchester United a “small team” when he was asked over whether Antoine Griezmann might depart the Vicente Calderon for Jose Mourinho’s side.

Griezmann, 25, has been regularly linked with a move to Old Trafford since the summer, when his great friend Paul Pogba made a world-record switch to the Red Devils from Juventus.

As reported by Goal, the Frenchman is United's top transfer target, with the club preparing to tempt Atleti with an €80 million bid in the summer.
