Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann has responded to speculation that has been in contract with Jose Mourinho, over a potential move to United next year.
The French international is once more being linked with a move to Old Trafford, having elected to stay with Atletico when United's No.1 transfer target last summer.
However, Greizmann could be on the move next summer, with suggestions that he wants to take the opportunity to join a member of the European 'elite'.
Griezmann appeared on French television station Telefoot at the weekend in a Q&A with Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe and was directly asked if he had spoken to Mourinho. He simply replied: "No."
Reports in the summer claimed Griezmann personally telephoned Mourinho to explain his decision to stay with Atletico but he denied those claims.
"No, no, no. No, that’s totally made up. False. It was my decision. I communicated it to the club. That’s it," he said in July. "I have stayed mainly because of the transfer ban. Atletico needed me now more than ever and I felt I had to stay.
"It would be dirty to leave. I wouldn’t have been myself, or the person that I feel I am today, if I had left this club in that way."
