Manchester United are a level above Arsenal and Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann could boost his brand and off-pitch image by moving to Old Trafford.
That’s the view of Time Sport CEO Esteve Calzada who believes the Red Devils are a perfect fit for the France international.
Griezmann, 25, has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League, though he insisted earlier this week that he’s happy at the Vicente Calderon.
Paul Pogba’s world record move to Old Trafford has seen the Frenchman rise to the top of the shirt sales table and Calzada believes this could be a factor in Griezmann rejecting the Gunners for Manchester United.
‘After what happened recently [against Bayern Munich in the Champions League], there is more and more talk about Arsenal not being a winning team anymore,’ Calzada told ESPN.
‘It has been a long time with no [big] trophies. It is a very popular club, of course, but United is a different animal.
‘Even without being successful lately, they keep on growing their commercial revenues, as the brand is so strong. Arsenal definitely one step behind United in terms of size, and in terms of potential that he can realise.’
