Atletico's Antoine Griezmann unsure on future Man Utd move

Antoine Griezmann admits he is unsure of his long-term future, but says he felt like he had to stay at Atletico Madrid this summer because of their transfer ban.

Griezmann was widely linked with a move to Manchester United before signing a new deal with Atletico until 2021.

He said at the time that it would have been a "dirty move" to leave after Atletico's transfer ban was upheld, meaning they cannot sign new players until January.

And he has told FourFourTwo: "I have stayed mainly because of the transfer ban. Atletico needed me now more than ever and I felt I had to stay. It would be dirty to leave. I wouldn't have been myself, or the person that I feel I am today, if I had left this club in that way.

The France international denied that he had called United manager Jose Mourinho to let him know his decision, saying: "No, no, no. No, that's totally made up. False. It was my decision. I communicated it to the club. That's it."

While Griezmann is set to stay with Atletico this summer, he refused to be drawn on whether he will join United next year.
