According to reports, Manchester United is thinking about competing for Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain.

Mbappe might be acquired by Man United this summer.
In preparation for Erik ten Hag’s second season as manager, it appears that the Red Devils are looking for a new star striker this summer.

With only a few options for centre forward at the club, Anthony Martial—one of 13 players up for sale—might even be sold in the upcoming months.

Mbappe has been mentioned, and a sensational transfer for the PSG forward is reportedly in the works by potential new owner Sheikh Jassim.

Mbappe “belongs” at Old Trafford, according to Jassim, but the Qatari group is still waiting to hear whether the Glazers will accept their takeover offer. Regardless of who is in charge of United, there has been another update regarding Mbappe as the forward has entered the final year of his PSG contract.

The Sun provided an update on Mbappe’s future, claiming any club looking to sign him in the near future will have to pay at least £250 million, breaking the Old Trafford transfer record.

Along with Liverpool and Real Madrid, Manchester United is mentioned in the report, and it claims that the Red Devils are considering engaging in a transfer bidding war. However, it also states that the ongoing ownership issues at Old Trafford may make it difficult for them to conduct business at that level.

When has Kyllian Mbappe scored a goal for Manchester United?
Mbappe, who has been dubbed “electric” by journalist Matt Lawton, is a household name who has helped PSG score an amazing 310 goals in 260 games. The 24-year-old France international has scored 40 goals in 70 games for his nation, including a hat-trick in last year’s World Cup final.

You can see why Jassim would want to bring the forward to Manchester and why, should a takeover go through, the forward would command such a high price, possibly winning over fans right away.

Four times in the Champions League, Mbappe faced off against United, winning twice and losing the other two. He scored his first goal against the Red Devils back in the 2018–19 season at Old Trafford, and who knows, if a transfer picks up steam, he might be looking to score frequently in Manchester.
