Griezmann: 6-out-of-10 chance I join Manchester United this summer

Star Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann has been linked with a move away from the club, and further fuelled that fire by telling French television program Quotidien there's a six-in-10 chance he'll make a move to Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

Griezmann was asked by host Yann Barthes if he was entertaining a move to United, to which the French striker responded succinctly: "It's possible."

Barthes then asked Griezmann to rate the chance of that move out of 10.

Griezmann offered, simply: "six."

Barthes seemed a bit surprised to get such a candid answer out of the Atletico man, as reports have linked Griezmann to Jose Mourinho's side since the Portuguese tactician took over at Old Trafford at the top of this past season.

He told Griezmann, as translated by the Independent: "That’s quite a lot, you understand what you’re saying?" to which Griezmann responded "Yes," before adding it was the first time he'd ever answered this line of questioning in this way.

While Griezmann himself projects the chance of a move at 60 percent, he did rule out a move to play under Zinedine Zidane, offering a "zero" when asked and prompting a round of laughter.
