Ex-Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has conceded that he wants Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann to stay away from Manchester United.

Gerrard is alongside Rio Ferdinand for BT Sport's coverage of tonight's Champions League second leg tie between Leicester City and Atletico at the King Power Stadium.

And when the ex-England duo were asked where they would place the France international, Gerrard didn't skip a beat in admitting he just doesn't want the 26-year-old at Old Trafford.

Gerrard told Des Kelly that he was looking forward to watching the player live, "I think he's one of the best players at finding space and gaps and hurting teams in between the lines."

A frightening prospect for any Liverpudlian then, especially considering how closely he's being linked with Jose Mourinho's side.

Ferdinand followed Gerrard's admission by claiming Manchester appears to be the perfect destination for Griezmann.

Do you see Griezmann moving to the Premier League anytime soon?
