Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann
believes there is a 60 per cent chance he will play
for Manchester United next season and expects his
future to be resolved within the next two weeks.
Griezmann has enjoyed another superb season
with Atleti, scoring 26 times across all
competitions for the LaLiga outfit.
United broke the world transfer record with their
initial outlay of £89.3million to bring back Paul
Pogba from Juventus last year and are reportedly
readying another blockbusting bid to sign the
midfielder's France international team-mate.
Speaking on TMC's light-hearted Le Quotidien
programme, Griezmann told presenter Yann
Barthes: "My future will be decided within two
weeks. Sincerely."
When asked to rate the chances of him ending up
at Old Trafford out of 10, he replied: "Six."
Griezmann, who ended up on the losing side with
club and country in the finals of the Champions
League and Euro 2016 last season, also discussed
his prospects of winning the Ballon d'Or – noting it
will be tough to win the coveted gong while Lionel
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are still around.
"The Ballon d'Or? I don't know," he said. "If
Cristiano and Messi continue to play football, it's
going to be complicated."
Defending champions Real Madrid reached the
Champions League final at Atleti's expense to face
Juventus this time around and Griezmann added:
"Even this year, [winning the Ballon d'Or] will be
very complicated with what Ronaldo and [Juventus
goalkeeper Gianluigi] Buffon have already won."
