Rio Ferdinand jokes about Kylian Mbappe potentially signing for Manchester United

Kylian Mbappe’s future is up in the air again despite only recently signing a new contract at Paris Saint-Germain.

According to The Guardian, Mbappe is unhappy with his role at PSG and with the club’s transfers, therefore is seeking a January exit.

It did not take long before Manchester United’s name began to circulate over a potential swoop for the France international. I mean, we could try to persuade him on the basis that we already have Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial strengthening the French contingent in the dressing room.

England cricket player Sam Billings reached out to former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand to try and make a deal happen, with Mbappe signing for the Red Devils.

Ferdinand replied jokingly and shared pictures of when he met Mbappe in Paris for an interview.

Stretty News verdict – Kyliann Mbappe to Manchester United is not happening

You would like to think that Manchester United will be ready in the market if any of the best players in the world became available.

In theory, so would I, but Mbappe’s situation at PSG is not a good one and that shouldn’t be underestimated. The Ligue 1 club are paying him €250m over three years, and basically made him their de facto sporting director. For him to start feeling down or betrayed is a load of waffle.

I highly doubt United will be in the mix for Mbappe’s signature.
