Antoine Griezmann has marked his chances of joining Manchester United this summer as six out of 10 and says his future will be decided in the next two weeks.

United are interested in signing the Atletico Madrid forward, according to Griezmann's adviser, but the 26-year-old had so far not made his intentions about a move away from the Vicente Calderon clear.

Atletico manager Diego Simeone has admitted Griezmann could leave the club, and the France international has now himself admitted a transfer to Manchester United could happen.

Asked about United on French television programme Quotidien, Griezmann said: "Possible, possible."

He was then questioned about the chances of him joining United on a scale of one to 10, and he said "Six."
