According to a report from The Sun, Manchester United are contemplating the possibility of submitting an offer for Kylian Mbappe, the PSG star who has expressed a desire to leave the club. It is anticipated that PSG will demand a staggering £250 million fee, surpassing the transfer record at Old Trafford if the deal goes through.
Mbappe’s Impressive Run Of Form In French Football
Mbappe enjoyed another excellent campaign at Parc des Princes as he was remarkably consistent with his contributions in the final third. The French outfit made 43 appearances for the French outfit this season, scoring 41 goals and earning ten goals in the process in all competitions.
The 24-year-old has been a reliable performer for PSG in the opponent’s half based on his average of 4.4 shots, 1.6 key passes and 3.6 clearances per 90 minutes in the Ligue 1. He has even been excellent with his ball distribution after making 82% of his attempted passes in the top tier of English football (stats via whoscored).
Mbappe has only one year remaining on his contract with PSG, making him available for a free transfer next summer. Nevertheless, the Mancunian giants will face competition from Real Madrid and Liverpool to secure his signature.
Is Kylian Mbappe A Dream Signing For Manchester United?
Mbappe showcases exceptional abilities when it comes to creating space for himself within the opponent’s penalty area, and his striking ability often tests the opposing goalkeeper. While primarily a centre-forward, Mbappe is adept at playing as a winger on either flank if required.
The French prodigy possesses excellent dribbling skills, displaying remarkable finesse while linking up play with teammates. He contributes significantly to goal-scoring opportunities in the final third by scoring himself and creating chances for others.
With Mbappe’s addition, Man United manager Erik ten Hag‘s attacking lineup would benefit from increased goals and pace. The French sensation would be an ideal striker to bolster Old Trafford’s ranks this summer.
At the age of 24, Mbappe’s peak years lie ahead of him, and his presence could potentially help the Red Devils secure numerous major trophies in the seasons to come. Hence, considering his attributes and potential impact, acquiring Mbappe would be a dream signing for the club to pursue during the summer transfer window.
