Why do you want to join Man United?? Ath Madrid star Antonio Griezman finally reveals reason why He wants to dump Ath Madrid for Man united in January
Atletico Madrid and France star Antoine Griezmann reportedly will not be leaving the La Liga club for Manchester United in January, despite rumours linking him with a move to Old Trafford. As Erik ten Hag looks for more reinforcements after a disappointing start to the Premier League season, the 32-year-old’s name has been mentioned as part of a surprise transfer
Griezmann is said to have a surprisingly low release clause of £21.9million which would enable United to pounce and potentially even triple the striker’s wages, should he leave Spain for England. But it appears that he is not ready to ditch the club he has had two impressive spells with.
Fabrizio Romano explained to The United Stand that Griezmann will not leave Atletico in January, despite rumours persisting of a potential move to Old Trafford. He previously departed in 2019 for Barcelona after they activated his £105m buy-out clause, but the Frenchman failed to replicate his form at the Nou Camp.
Griezmann is a versatile forward who Ten Hag may have felt would have improved United’s struggling frontline. The Red Devils have scored just 13 goals in 12 league matches while Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay are the only two United players to have scored on more than one occasion in the league this season.
Rasmus Hojlund has failed to hit the ground running domestically following his £72m summer move from Atalanta, despite impressing especially in the Champions League. He was the club’s big-money addition going forward after missing out on Harry Kane and still needs time to acclimatise to the league.
While Marcus Rashford has struggled to hit the lofty heights of last season. The likes of Anthony Martial, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Facundo Pellistri all have been unable to make a significant impact going forward, perhaps prompting the reported interest in Griezmann.
