Antoine Griezmann casts doubt on Manchester United move after declaring ambition to win trophies with Atletico Madrid
Manchester United's bid to sign Antoine Griezmann this summer has taken a blow after the Atletico Madrid forward admits he has unfinished business at the club.
The France international has been a long term target for Jose Mourinho's side, who will hope reaching the Champions League next season has aided their pursuit of the 26-year-old.
But after collecting Atletico's player of the season award, Griezmann has made it clear his desire rests on trying to win trophies with Diego Simeone's side following a campaign where they finished a distant third in La Liga as well as reaching the Champions League semi-finals.
'It has been a great year and I hope I can get better and win trophies with this team,'
Griezmann told the Atletico Madrid website.
'I will do everything possible. We are very happy. We have reached our objective, we maybe wanted more, but it could not be.
Griezmann was keen to stress he has lost none of his desire to play for the Spanish outfit despite the long standing United interest as he outlined his summer plans heading into next season.
'We have new goals for next year,' he added.
'I have to play fixtures with my national team and then I'll go on holiday to enjoy some free time, being with my family and friends, and then I'll come back more eager than ever.
'Next season, my first hope is to work on the signings, then the team and then, in San Rafael, build the same dynamics that we've had for a long time.
