admin The Red Devils could be set to sign a dream partner for their newest number nine.
Manchester United could secure one of the deals of the century if they lure the coveted star to Old Trafford.
Is Kylian Mbappe leaving Paris Saint-Germain?
Kylian Mbappe’s future is up in the air so it remains to be seen what future awaits the Paris Saint-Germain star.
With the French now up for sale in large numbers and the intrigues of Saudi Arabia among other bidders, few can match the financial clout that an expanding league can offer.
However, it remains to be seen whether the 24-year-old will opt for inheritance rather than the financial drive that could allow him to build his family for untold generations.
One of the few clubs that can offer a striker a mix of both are the Red Devils, who were involved in a saga earlier this month.
There is only one year left on his contract and Football Transfers have set the price for the world champion at €126.4 million (£108 million).
How good is Kylian Mbappe?
It seems dishonest to describe Mbappe on stats alone, but they show how comfortable he is with one of the best players in the world.
Last season alone, he scored 51 goals in all competitions, which is not surprising as he failed to match last year’s impressive 65 goals.
There are only a handful of players capable of shining like this, and considering he’s so young he really has the world at his feet as he tries to venture into greener climes.
It would likely spell a quick end to his turbulent but ultimately successful tenure at Parc des Princes, where he scored 212 goals in just 260 games.
However, his creativity is an often-overlooked asset that sets him apart.It’s his ability to create chances for his team-mates out of thin air that suggests he could be a star player for Manchester United in the face of new signing Rasmus Hojlund.
Once insider Fabrizio Romano confirms the deal has been agreed, Danish marksman Erik ten Hag will provide speed, power and a much-needed focal point as his squad builds.
Not to mention the fact that he scored 16 goals in all competitions last season and assisted the next seven goals, suggesting the 20-year-old definitely knows where the goal is.
He would benefit greatly from the quality of Mbappé, who averaged 1.6 assists per game and created 17 wide chances in Ligue 1 last year despite only having five assists on a sofa score.
In fact, compared to other forwards across Europe, he ranks in the top 1% of 90 progressive runners, top 5% of 90 progressive passers and top 4% of 90 goalscorers.
Thanks FBref. His offensive characters enjoy a sea of green in which he is one of the best, if not the best, of any offensive category on the entire continent.
Journalist Musa Okwonga has already commented on the youngster’s success in 2017: “Mbappé is the best player I’ve seen at this age since Ronaldo.”No other player of this era is so complete at such a young age.
This potential is definitely being realized and when paired with 6ft 3in buds new heights can be reached as well.
New striker Ten Hag was able to force the defenders into submission, which ultimately worked for Mbappé as well.
The combination of a long man and a lithe dribbler, both with frightening pace, makes for a daunting prospect for the rest of the division.
The latter’s threat will likely lure in two or even three defenders to silence him while the rest of his teammates can do some real damage.
Hojlund will particularly benefit as his move to Old Trafford could be tempered by a more prominent signing, giving him a myriad of opportunities to celebrate his high-scoring first year.
