Kylian Mbappe has become a surprising target for Manchester United if they get new owners.
According to Football Insider, United’s potential new owners would like to sign the French striker to kick off his reign.
“It is believed that Man United would be interested in taking over Mbappé should a mega-money acquisition materialise.”
“The club’s hiring managers are already laying the groundwork for their summer business as the battle to become the new owners of the Red Devils intensifies.”
“A standout signing will be top of the shopping list for new owners, whoever they are, and the capture of Mbappé would go a long way to gaining a following.”
Erik ten Hag’s side are in good form at the moment, with Marcus Rashford leading the scoring charts.
United will look for a long-term number nine in the summer.
Mbappé would be a dream signing and would generate huge commercial income.
The prospect of him starting alongside Rashford and Jadon Sancho would be an enticing prospect for most fans.
The United acquisition process is still ongoing, with the final decision in the hands of the Glazers.
They are said to have received two public offers: from Sheikh Jassim and from Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos.
The Wall Street Journal reports that there have been multiple private offerings, both for a partial investment and a full acquisition.
???? Although bidders made two offers public, several more offers came in both for partial club stakes and to acquire the team outright, according to a person familiar with the process #mufc #mujournal
