Man Utd target Griezmann denies trying to force Atletico Madrid exit

Manchester United target Antoine Griezmann insists he's not trying to engineer a move away from Atletico Madrid.

A number of reports suggested personal terms had already been agreed with the deal set to be rubber-stamped.

However, the France forward used Twitter on Friday evening to reject those reports while admitting his future is uncertain.

"All the rumours are unfounded," he wrote. "I'm still Colchonero. My direction will be established after discussion with my sporting advisor."

Griezmann, who has scored 26 goals in 53 appearances for Atletico this season, has a 100 million euros (£86.7million) buyout clause in his contract, and is said to be top of Jose Mourinho's wish-list this summer.
