Antoine Griezmann drops Atletico hint as Man Utd cool interest in deal
Antoine Griezmann has made an apparent pledge of allegiance to Atletico Madrid hours after Manchester United cooled their interest in a summer transfer.
Sources told Sky Sports News HQ on Thursday that Manchester United are now prioritising an out-and-out striker rather than a move for Griezmann, whose 83 Atletico goals have come from a variety of forward positions.
United's change of approach emerged shortly after Atletico had an appeal against their transfer ban rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, a ruling which means they could not sign a replacement this summer if the France striker were sold.

Griezmann recently revealed on French TV that his chances of a switch to Old Trafford were "six out of 10", but he later dismissed reports that a deal with United was already done.
"All the rumours are unfounded," he tweeted. "I'm still Colchonero. My direction will be established after discussion with my sporting advisor."
