The French player’s incredible start to the season at Atletico Madrid has sparked rumors linking him to a switch to Old Trafford. Griezmann’s outstanding performance, with 12 goals in just 16 games since his permanent return to Atletico, has fueled suggestions of a potential move to Manchester United in January.

However, hopes of Griezmann joining the red side of Manchester have been quashed after he expressed his commitment to staying at the Metropolitano Stadium.

In an interview with Marca, Griezmann emphasized his motivation to become a pivotal figure and a legend at Atletico, stating, “I am motivated to be someone important at Atlético, to be a legend at this club.”

“I know I have to earn it. Now I have many goals for this year, but I want to win La Liga and I need it. I’ve never done it and it would be nice.”

Looking ahead, he added, “By 2024 I want to bring joy to the fans and some title for Atlético. It would be a dream.”

Despite reports of Griezmann having a remarkably low release clause of just £21.9 million, making him an affordable target for Man Utd, the Red Devils might reconsider any interest in pursuit. Griezmann’s commitment to Atletico and his aspirations to accomplish significant feats with the club may prompt a rethink in their plans.

Initial reports had linked Griezmann as a potential replacement for Jadon Sancho, who has been excluded from the Man Utd squad following disputes with Erik ten Hag and is anticipated to depart the club in January.
