Mourinho ‘bewitched’ by Kylian Mbappe; aren’t we all?
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly ‘bewitched’ by Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe.
United have allegedly made a world-record £96m bid for a young man who has is one of Europe’s most promising players; he makes our list of top-scoring youngsters.
While United are being linked with paying £173m for Neymar, but Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio says that it is Mbappe who fascinates Mourinho.
He uses the word ‘bewitched’ but then adds: ‘But the competition is fierce: the boy is tempting half of Europe and it seems that Florentino Perez was present at the Stade Louis II for the Monaco-City evening.’
Perez himself said this weekend when asked about Mbappe: “Anything is possible, but we will not talk about players who don’t belong to Real Madrid. He’s a great player but we’re only thinking about La Liga and the Champions League right now.”
