Cerezo labels Manchester United a ‘small team’ amid Griezmann speculation

Antoine Griezmann is said to be a huge target for Manchester United but Atletico Madrid president has dismissed the Red Devils as a minor threat.

Depending on who you listen to, the Frenchman is either subject to great interest from the Old Trafford club or on the verge of signing in a multi-million euro deal.”Manchester United?” Cerezo replied when asked about Griezmann’s potential exit by reporters. “Small team.”I believe in the contracts that people sign, that goes for [Diego] Simeone and Griezmann.

Moving on to a striker who does ply his trade in Manchester, the Atleti chief discussed his earlier comments on Sergio Aguero, who left Madrid under a cloud in 2011.”I said on the radio that Aguero was a fool, but he’s not a fool,” Cerezo stated. “He is one of the best players in the history of football, and I said he was stupid for leaving Atletico.”He’s a great player and a good friend, I wish him all the luck of the world at Manchester City.”
