The Atletico Madrid striker is among the Red Devils' top transfer targets as Jose Mourinho looks to add more firepower to his side who amassed 15 draws during a Premier League campaign which saw them finish a disappointing sixth.
Speaking on French television show Quotidien, Griezmann described the probability of a move to the Theatre of Dreams as 'six out of 10' after being asked the question by presenter Yann Barthes.
In response to his first question, Barthes then asked Griezmann if he understood what he had just said and if this was the first time he had spoke about the chances of a move publicly - both of which were met with the answer 'Yes'.
The 26-year-old added on Monday night's show that 'my future will be decided within two weeks.'
Griezmann, who wears the No 7 for Atletico and France, also spoke of his admiration for Manchester United and England's iconic former No 7 - David Beckham.
Shortly after the interview was aired, Griezmann's younger brother Theo - a United fan too - retweeted the video before posting a smiley-face emoji.
Griezmann's openness is a change of tact from his stance throughout this season, where has repeatedly denied that he will be moving from Atletico this summer.
Earlier this month, he maintained that line when pushed about where his future may lie.
'I am very comfortable here and now have to meet my representative with Miguel Angel Gil (the Atletico chief executive) and see what happens,' he told Cadena Ser El Larguero.
'I am happy. If I am happy in my personal life I will be happy in my profession. I love [Diego] Simeone and I love my mates.
'I'm still as happy as the first day I introduced myself. I wish I could continue to enjoy my private and sports life.
'I want titles, it's what I want and what I lack. I give everything for it.'
