Rio Ferdinand has joked that he is trying to persuade Kylian Mbappe to join the Red Devils.
This comes after shocking reports earlier this week that Kylian Mbappe feels ‘betrayed’ by the club and wants to leave PSG in January despite signing a lucrative new contract earlier this year.
According to Marca, Mbappé believes that a series of promises he made when he signed the new contract have been broken, and that his relationship with the club is “completely broken” and “there is no going back”.
Amid uncertainty over Mbappe’s future, Ferdinand jokingly claimed he could persuade the Frenchman to join Manchester United.
The former Manchester United defender posted a video of himself and Mbappe on social media with the caption: Talks completed… deal done? #AgentFerdy See you in Manchester soon bro! #mbappe

Despite the drama, Mbappé received the go-ahead for the start of the Champions League match against Benfica and the Frenchman was on the scoreboard from minute zero when PSG drew 1-1 with the Portuguese club.
Mbappe also appears to be at odds with the manager and apparently took a dig at home on his Instagram about his 0-0 draw with Reims last week. He wrote: “Match tied, back on Tuesday. #icicestparis #pivotgang.”
His use of the hashtag #pivotgang caused quite a bit of outrage, suggesting that he is unhappy with the coach’s tactics of starting him as the lone striker and preferring to play alongside another striker.
