Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has named Manchester United legend David Beckham as his role model. Griezmann has been linked with a move to United during various stages of his career, but he has always stopped short of joining the Old Trafford club.
He currently plays for Atletico after returning to the Civitas Metropolitan Stadium from Barcelona in July 2023. And now the World Cup winner has spoken of his admiration for Beckham.
