Is this proof that Griezmann must join Chelsea over Man United?

Antoine Griezmann at Man Utd

The Frenchaman joined his compatriot Paul Pogba at Old Trafford for a fee of £50m, and was handed the No. 30 shirt upon his arrival.

During his first season at the club Mourinho utilises Griezmann on the left-wing which allows Anthony Martial to join Zlatan Ibrahimovic up front in a 4-3-1-2 formation and he becomes United’s key playmaker notching up a total of 18 assists in all competitions.

He is, however, at his best in the Premier League where he creates 13 assists and scores 7 times for an average rating of 7.51 helping Mourinho’s side to a second placed finish on 82 points, just four adrift of champions, Arsenal (I know, Arsenal? And they said Leicester was unrealistic.)

His best performance comes against Wenger’s side at Old Trafford scoring one and assisting twice in a 3-1 victory.

The former Chelsea boss fields weakened sides in both domestic cup competitions which sees United exit the FA Cup and EFL cup early with Griezmann seeing little playing time in either competition.

In the Champions League, the former Atletico Madrid man turns the tables on his old employers with a goal and an assist across the two legs of the first knockout round to send United through 4-2 on aggregate, however, their European adventure ends abruptly soon afterwards with Real Madrid proving too strong over two legs, beating Mourinho’s side 4-1 on aggregate.
