Why Mbappe Would Consider a Move to Manchester United Ahead of Real Madrid
PSG brilliant striker Kylian Mbappe has reportedly told the French club he is not ready to extend his contract. This sparked a heated race for his signature with top European clubs like Man Utd, Real Madrid and Liverpool all eager to sign Mbappe. While the 22-year-old has been a long-time target for Los Blancos, Mbappe could consider a move to EPL giants Man Utd for several reasons.
Mbappe is on Manchester United’s list of potential targets as they plot a move for a big-name forward next summer, sources told ESPN. The arrival of Barcelona legend Leo Messi in Paris has further put Mbappe’s future in a difficult situation. The young goalscorer doesn’t want to be overshadowed by two senior players such as Lionel Messi and Neymar – Kylian wants to be the starman of his next club – United perfectly fit Mbappe on that note.
United are open to the possibility of adding another player to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad in this transfer window, with the club holding an interest in the central midfield and right-back position. United are also building for the future, and plan to sign a center-forward in the 2022 summer window with Solskjaer and the recruitment team drawing up a list of options.

Man United would look non-serious if they don’t inquire over the World Cup winner, so let’s get into four reasons why a deal in 2022 could make sense.
4 Reasons Why Mbappe Would Consider a Move to Manchester United Ahead of Real Madrid
1. Mbappe would want to link up with Varane and Pogba (if the midfielder stays)
For all the talk about Paul Pogba leaving United to join Mbappe at PSG, why not the other way around?
Extending Pogba’s contract would give United a big advantage to tempt Mbappe to the club.
Getting them both in the same team will leave United with a devastating pairing which has already been established at international level.

2. Mbappe is a friend of Rashford
World-class striker Kylian Mbappe is pals with Marcus Rashford, with The Athletic reporting Mbappe messaged Rashford privately after England’s Euro 2020 penalty shootout defeat.
Mbappe also praised Rashford for his charity work, The Mail reported, as well as lauding his quality on the pitch.
The Times reported last year that United were one of the clubs Mbappe was interested in signing for if he were to quit PSG. Kylian knows what it means to play with Rashford, Martial, Sancho, and Greenwood; he knows the capability of such a partnership and the great improvement in the current United squad.
3. Kylian Mbappe will get a better pay at Man Utd
Mbappe being a free agent would make the deal a particularly attractive proposition for the reds, as he would not command a transfer fee, though only a select few clubs in world football could afford his salary and signing on fee.
United have a shot at landing Mbappe for one simple reason; next summer he will be a free agent.
There will of course be huge wages and signing-on fees involved, but a free transfer makes it so much easier to do. Like Barca, Real Madrid have their own financial problems to worry about, which means United could be in a position to offer Mbappe a better salary.
4. Mbappe would embrace the opportunity to play in the Premier League
By all standards, the English Premier League is the greatest (most competitive) football league in the world. Great players like Mbappe often want to take bigger challenges and if the opportunity presents itself to Kylian to wear the famous red shirt, why won’t he take it?
Man United alternative to Mbappe: Will Raiola allow Erling Haaland to join United?
United’s top summer target used to be Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, who has previously worked under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Molde.
Haaland will cost more, although his release clause makes him affordable.
The difference is, United won’t have to deal with Mino Raiola to sign Mbappe.
Man Utd are aware that their chances of pulling off this massive coup are slim, considering the very public links between the Frenchman and Spanish giants Madrid. Mbappe has never ruled out a move to Los Blancos, who are even prepared to open talks with PSG this summer, as recently revealed by 90min.
French giants PSG are hoping to convince him to extend his stay at the club, and club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi believes Mbappe has ‘no excuse’ after they showed their ambition by signing Lionel Messi. Should he still decide to walk away next year, Man Utd would be waiting.

ESPN loves ManUtd. As much they say that they hate talking about ManUtd they can’t stop talking about ManUtd 😅😅. They have spend 15 mins speaking on rumours – Hypocrites.
Sack Ten Hag Now: Man Utd Fan Makes Bold Claim
It’s not Ten Hag fault when players like rashford do not put in all the effort after signing a new contract. Also ten hag had to deal with incredible amount of injuries which ESPN deliberately overlooks. So getting another manager isn’t going to solve anything.
It’s so funny how the English media fails to realize that the structure & the players is the problem at united…..but they trying to sack ETH who is an elite manger under a proper management structure 💯
The best manager that seems to be being overlooked shouod be n1 on the list for bayern utd liverpool is someone inzaghi. Hes done great things with Lazio and inter. Loads of experience and has got to european finals and won domestic leagues.
Manchester City 3-1 win over United in Manchester Derby.
It is very different getting an underdog /dark horse to perform vs going to an environment where the spotlight in on you everyday from day 1. The same thing happened at Bayern with a couple of their coaches…
Afcon 2024 victory is well deserved for Ivory Coast they left no stone unturned and they dominated throughout. If there is a one person who deserved to win the AFCON it was Sebastian Haller. In 2022, he was diagnosed with cancer but he recovered and he returned to play football in 2023 only to bottle the Bundesliga title on the final matchday to Bayern but here we are in 2024 where he scored the winner in the AFCON final to win Cote d’Ivoire AFCON title so congratulations🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🏆
Brazil Antony fulfill his potential at Manchester United?

But Ivory Coast won fair and square. They played better. Congratulations champs.
What Adingra did in the African Cup of Nation was phenomenal. Nigerians will remember him as a nighmare forever. The boy has a great future ahead of him.
Why Biased Ten Hag Cannot Discipline Rashford Like Sancho
Haller beats cancer, then comes to the AFCON and scores the most important goal in the final, the winning goal what a beautiful story for that man and Ivory coast, congratulations to them👏👏
Congratulations to Ivory Coast from cameroonian👏👏👏you organized and won the most beautiful AFCON in story, unbelievable achievment when we look how things went for you.
One of the best tournaments I’ve seen.
Almost every team demonstrated that they were not afraid of their opponent and played above expectations.
Congratulations to Côte d’Ivoire who never gave up and believed and implemented their progress towards goal as much as possible until the last second in this tournament. Kudos to Nigeria for high yield and quality.
Thank you for making the spectators so emotional and congratulations and best wishes to the Ivory Coast and the Ivorian people.

Congratulations to Ivory Coast for winning the Africa Cup🏆! The team showed strength and desire to win and to not give up until the end. And the fans were absolutely amazing
P.s Haller deserved it the most, since he suffered a lot.
The story of Côte d’Ivoire’s victory in the African Nations is one of the most beautiful stories in the history of football. We sympathized with this team’s version a lot and we will tell it to our children in the future 🧡

‘He’s very coachable, he wants to learn, to improve every day’ |SportsFila can feel the meaning of a ‘coachable player that wants to improve every day’. Because ETH has to deal with players that are not like this at all.
remember at Ajax TH once said “a process takes time, but by throwing in young players in big games that process gets accelerated”. Always stuck with me considering he let Mainoo debut against Everton (after the 10 point deduction at an intense Goodison Park) and then straight into the Galatasaray away game in the CL. H
He also has done the same with Garnacho last year and this year. Then he did the same with Pellistri against Bayern Munich who in my opinion did well enough to deserve another chance. I think it’s a way for him to see how they respond to the pressure and intensity. He’s not afraid to play the youngsters ONLY if he considers them good and fearless enough.
Why Roma loved and sacked Jose Mourinho
He made De Ligt Ajax captain at 18 years old because he saw leadership qualities. He has his own methods, but I’m convinced he knows exactly what he’s doing regarding the future of United. United fans need to remember 75% of this current squad won’t be part of the future so maybe allow him a bit more time to show what he’s trying to build.

ETH is a highly resillient manager to go through all the crisis and egos, poor performances, players personal issues and ownership drama and come out on the other side with these kind of performances. He brought in the right striker young full of potential and work ethic. Young players are starring in the squad WE ARE ON THE WAY.
Jadon Sancho Will REGRET His Behaviour At Man United
All the instability across the club that he’s gone through and still kept us in the Top 8. Now he’s finally seeing the other side of the drawn-out “club sale, no-sale”, multiple injuries, media controversies, spoiled players, and all the other nonsense, we see the team moving into sixth position. The man deserves all the praise in the world for being so resilient.
It’s interesting hearing ten hag speaking on rashford because he mentions a lot of qualities which he possesses, however they are all physical and technical, the one thing he didn’t speak positively about was his mentality and for me this is what has always separated Rashford from the very best.
In football and sport as a whole mentality is the one thing you need more than anything, it’s what separates the good from the great and I don’t know if rashford has that real hunger and desire in him to be great. The kind of desire where you’re willing to get hurt to score a goal.
