Atletico Madrid ace Griezmann: I spoke to everyone before rejecting Man Utd

Atletico Madrid ace Antoine Griezmann has again spoken of rejecting Manchester United.

Griezmann chose to stick with Atletico after this summer's transfer ban was upheld.

He said: "The ban on recruitment of Atlético Madrid? We will say that it helped a lot. It is true that going away while they can not recruit this summer would be a dirty blow to the club that gave me a lot of confidence and that allowed me to be the player I am today.

"After talking with my sports advisor, the coach and the captains, I decided to stay. We're going to hold on until December and see if we can bring a few players back in December."
