Griezmann failed!

While he is unanimous among the Blues and Atletico Madrid, Antoine Griezmann does not find favor in the eyes of Mickael Silvestre, not convinced by his possible arrival with the Red Devils.

Griezmann delivered another recital in Greece on Tuesday. Although he did not score, the French midfielder was omnipresent in the midfield, proving just as useful in recovery as in controlling the game. A recital in line with his performances with Atletico Madrid , the former Barcelona player, despite his 32 years and a repositioning in midfield, having regained all his splendor.

This return to the forefront inevitably arouses desire, especially since he has a release clause set at only 25 million euros. Recently, the English press explained that Manchester United, who had been interested for a long time, had already returned to the charge and were ready to offer him a salary multiplied by three. But the idea does not please Mickael Silvestre, formerly of the Mancunian house.

“ It’s never too late for a player to make a big transfer, but I think Antoine Griezmann would be a second Bruno Fernandes or Eriksen, because Griezmann no longer plays as a striker,” he told Bettingexpert.com, adding: “He’s been playing lower lately so it doesn’t make sense for Man United to add him to the squad. Man United have enough quality in this position, so it wouldn’t be the first move they make. I don’t think such a decision makes sense.”
