ANTOINE GRIEZMANN SAYS he would love to play with Paul Pogba every day, though the Atletico Madrid star insists he does not want to move to Manchester United.
Griezmann, 27, has been linked with a move to the Premier League giants, as well as LaLiga leaders Barcelona, having revealed earlier this week that he intends to iron out his future prior to the World Cup.
“My future will be decided before the World Cup, I want to go to Russia with a clear mind, I think that’s what everybody wants, it’s not so much the question of where I’ll play, which may be boring, but about having the peace of mind if I’m still in one place or another,” he said.
“I’ve told my sister that, whether I stay or not, I’ll have to decide before (in reference to the World Cup).”
And while the forward believes it would be great to play with France team-mate and United star Pogba every day, he played down a possible switch to Old Trafford.
“If we could have this every day,” Pogba said on Canal+ as the pair interviewed each other.
Griezmann responded: “It would be nice.
“But beware, that doesn’t mean I want to go to Manchester United.”
Griezmann has scored 23 goals in 38 games in all competitions for Atletico this campaign in what is his fourth season at the club.
Pogba, meanwhile, has faced criticism for his displays for Jose Mourinho’s United.

I like GAA too! If only I cold find a way to wriggle out of my PAYE obligations, I could then throw out a bit of the cash I’d save to my pet sport and everyone would say I’m a great fella.
@Hibernicus: There’s always one who has nothing good to say.
@Richard Ford: You misunderstood, I am inspired & keen to emulate the great man!
@Hibernicus: the man owns and runs a Swiss based company where he is clearly doing pretty well. This is also where he pays tax. I appreciate that might be a difficult concept to wrap your head around when you’ve likely spent your life in the one village.
@Hibernicus: . Well then please do your very best to do so. All donations gratefully accepted Hibernicus.
@Hibernicus: typical
@Paul Odeier: succinct!
@Hibernicus:you come across as a great fella.revenue are crying out for great fellas
As I said to Shane below, we are a tax haven. Tax avoidance is the way of the world. We gratefully accept multiple billions from corporations who base their headquarters here to avoid tax. We can’t have it both ways. People be careful not to fall off their high horses.
Fantastic balanced journalism from the headline down, exactly why I decided to pay for a subscription.
I look forward to the day when I can stop paying tax like all the smart people and donate an iPad to the club raffle for a gushing write-up in the local paper.
@Shane Griffin: When are you expecting to become one of the smart people?
@Shane Griffin: how do you feel about the fact that Ireland is a tax haven? Do you think we should send back the multiple billions we receive from tax dodging corporations every year???
