Kylian Mbappe has emerged as a shock target for Manchester United should they acquire new owners.
A potential new owner of United wants to sign the French striker to start their reign, according to Football Insider.
“Manchester United are believed to be interested in signing Mbappe in the event of a sizable acquisition.”
“As the battle for a new Red Devils owner rages on, club recruiters are already laying the groundwork for summer business.”
“A deal with Marquee would be top of the shopping list for whoever the new owner is, and the acquisition of Mbappe would go a long way in gaining supporters.”
Erik ten Hag’s side are in good form at the moment, with Marcus Rashford leading the scoring charts.
United are considering a long-term No. 9 in the summer.
Mbappe is a dream contract and one that generates huge commercial income.
The prospect of him starting alongside Rashford and Jadon Sancho would be an intriguing prospect for most fans.
The United acquisition process is still ongoing and the final decision rests with the Glazers.
They are said to have received two open bids from Ineos, Sheikh Jassim and Jim Ratcliffe.
The Wall Street Journal reports that there have been multiple private placements, both partial investments and outright acquisitions.
🚨 Two bids have been made public by bidders, but several more have been submitted with partial stakes and offers to buy the team outright, according to a person familiar with the process #mufc #mujournal
