Kylian Mbappe has been linked with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain, with Manchester United ready to rival Real Madrid in his pursuit.
Kylian Mbappe has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent weeks. And a report from The Sun claims that Manchester United are contemplating a potential move for the French international.
Mbappe is one of the best players in the world, and he would be a tremendous signing for any club. Manchester United certainly need attacking reinforcements, and the 2022 World Cup finalist would be a sensational acquisition for them.
However, it seems highly unlikely that the Red Devils will be able to sign them without the completion of their takeover first. And with the agreement between the Glazers and the new owners possible for later this year, a deal might not materialise.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner is likely to cost a premium and Manchester United will have to shatter the Premier League and the club transfer record in order to sign him. Recent reports have claimed that Real Madrid will break the world record to secure Mbappe’s services.
The attacker has refused to sign an extension with PSG, and he will be a free agent next summer. The French outfit will be under pressure to cash in on him this summer. They will not want to lose a player of his quality on a free transfer next year. It seems that the player is trying to force a move away from the club. So it will be interesting to see if he is willing to join Manchester United.
The Red Devils have secured UEFA Champions League qualification, and they are putting together a talented squad capable of winning major trophies. A move to the Premier League could be an exciting new opportunity for Mbappe. He has already shown his quality in France but has not been able to win the Champions League title with PSG.
If Erik ten Hag can convince the player of his vision and his plan to win major trophies like the Champions League, the 2018 World Cup winner could be tempted to join the club. The 24-year-old has proven himself at the highest level with club and country, and he could be the ideal signing to galvanise Manchester United and take them to the next level.
The French international scored 41 goals across all competitions last season, and he could be the ideal partner for Marcus Rashford in the attack next year. Meanwhile, recent reports have revealed Real Madrid’s fears over Mbappe’s race regarding Manchester United. And it will be interesting to see if the Red Devils beat Real Madrid to his signature.
