Mbappe to Man Utd! – Man united given Renewed hope of signing £150m PSG star after his mother’s shock transfer hints to Man United

Manchester United are reportedly back in the hunt for Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe with Sir Jim Ratcliffe edging closer to arrival.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The French forward has refused to sign an extension with the reigning Ligue 1 champions and it is believed that he has also agreed to forego a €100 million (£87m) loyalty bonus to force his way out of Parc des Princes.

With Ratcliffe on the verge of completing his takeover of a 25 per cent stake, United are poised to compete for Mbappe in the summer, reported Football Insider.

Manchester City and Chelsea are also financially capable of pulling off the deal which would see the 2018 World Cup winner head to English shores.

Meanwhile, there have been reports in Spain which claim Real Madrid have cooled their interest in Mbappe as he would be almost 26 years old by the time he joined Madrid and would also demand at least €20 million per year along with a huge signing bonus that could disrupt the wage structure at the club.

Rashford signed a huge new Man Utd contract this summer after scoring 30 goals last season

Erik Ten Hag is ready to speak with Rashford about Man United struggles

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed he plans to speak with Marcus Rashford about his poor form this season.

Rashford inked a huge new contract this summer as a reward for netting 30 goals in all competitions across Ten Hag’s debut season at the club, but he has struggled to replicate that form this year and has just two goals to his name.

The 26-year-old started Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United but was hooked on the hour mark after once again failing to make an impact.

“I will talk to him and not the media,” Ten Hag said after the game when asked what is going wrong for Rashford.

“I don’t go into individual performances. I knew this issue was coming up and Marcus is investing a lot. He will return to his form, he will recover and he gets all our support.”

Centre-back Harry Maguire also pledged his support for Rashford, having fought through his own cold spell to prove himself to the United boss again.

“Marcus had an unbelievable season last season,” Maguire told TNT Sports. “This season, it hasn’t clicked for him.

“He’s working hard. Everyone in that dressing room knows what he’s about.”

Rashford was not the only player singled out after the Newcastle game, with Ten Hag also asked to explain why he screamed at Anthony Martial midway through the first half.

“I’m not hoping [they will get better] – I am sure,” Ten Hag said of the two struggling forwards. “You always want to play the perfect game but we have so many matches in a short period you and we know we have to pick it up. “
