According to his uncle, he never misses a game of Juventus, Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The only problem with that is that he probably plays football for Monaco at the same time as at least two of those teams each weekend...
Part of me would love him and all the rest of his teammates to stay at Monaco and develop together. They could be a scary team for the next 5+ years.
That said if they'll take our dirty money we should be in for him and Fabinho.

If we sign them both wed walk the league.
Could you imagine this front 6? That's some FM bullshit right there.
-------------Fabinho-----------
------Nainggolan-Pogba-------
------------Griezmann--------
-------Mbappe---Belotti-------
The muppet in me loves Mourinho. He just wants the best possible team with no restrictions on who he has to play and who he can sign. At Chelsea he briefly had that when he first arrived and was super successful, then Roman started dictating who he should sign and who he should play and it went tits up. At Inter he could play who he liked but he had financial restrictions and he was never going to be able to be successful there as a long term project. At Real he could pretty much sign who he wanted but there was politics in play and playing who he wanted brought grief. Back to Chelsea and all was sweet for two seasons as he got the signings he liked but went sour with Abramovic once again when his transfer dealings were restricted and sour with the players when he tried to leave certain players out.
At United, he's got as close to no transfer restrictions as you are going to get and the full backing of the board to play who he wants when he wants. So if he sees this lad as being a very rare talent, he'll break the bank and make it happen and the accountants and sponsors will make the figures work.

Jesus, that midfield.
You really wouldn't.
Why not?

Fixed
Think Moyes could win us a title with that team tbh.
Yeah could you imagine? The calls for José's head because he's abandoned our youth completely. Martial out in the cold, Rashford not getting a look in, and Pereira needed to be let go to the cries of "massive mistake" when he blossoms somewhere else.Could you imagine this front 6?

Then lets not forget Miki who we all believe has something special. Gone.
"LVG would have played youth"
He'd certainly have us going toe to toe with the likes of West Brom and Stoke, that's for sure.
If all you needed was a striker and a DM then you'd be higher than 5th now. Your squad isn't good enough. What I'm trying to say is you need more than 2 players. An 18 year old and 23 year old will not make you 'walk the league'.
because mbappe and fabinho are players that shine in monaco's current set-up not because they are on a ronaldo-like individual level, but because their whole team is streamlined for that sort of football. mbappe is 18 and will have the same problems with united then martial, who in fact is as talented him. fabinho has to prove that he can hold the midfield on a higher level when he is not having tank-bakayoko next to him, but careless pogba.
buying two players from monaco wont change the way man united plays. the same was with kagawa, pogba or di maria. buying those players will not turn let you play like dortmund, juve or madrid. united's underlying foundation is outdated, thats why players always seem to perform better at other clubs than united. thats why I rate conte's work in chelsea so highly.
We are also on our longest ever undefeated run in a single season and holders of the FA and League Cup whilst being in the semi finals of the Europa Cup with a manager at his first season at the club, trailing the league leaders who finished in 10th last season. So yeah, we aren't far off.
Don't know about it, I recall @JPRouve telling us as late as last season (so before the Mbappe boom) that Mbappe is far more talented than Martial.
Didn't he also say Martial wasn't nearly as exciting or efficient compared to Mbappe?
Fabinho and Mbappe shine because they are terrific players.
Being 18 means nothing, it's old fashioned thinking to suggest just because a player is young they'll be inconsistent or struggle in a new team. It might be more likely but it's down entirely to the individual. Why select Pogba and not Herrera? Herrera gets through substantially more defensive work than Bakayoko does that's for sure. He will have no additional burden, if anything his workload will be lightened. The Premier league is not a higher level than the Champions League, he's already proven he can hold a midfield together on ahigher level.
If your going to debunk you need to be specific. What is our 'underlying foundation' and how is it 'outdated.'
Yup, the general consensus was that there's this kid at Monaco who's the bigger fish out there. No reason not to trust J either as as he's a bit of a Monaco fan and threw such statement when not many people (myself included) had the foggiest who Mbappe was.
Mbappé has been a far better youth player and he has adapted to professional football faster, in fact he didn't even had to adapt to it. Martial on the other end has followed the normal path, he is really talented but he wasn't good enough to play often for Lyon, then he joined Monaco and wasn't good enough to iron a position, Martial is very talented from an individual standpoint but he lacks tactical nous, he lacks that extra fighting spirit while Mbappé has both, Mbappé basically plays like an old striker.
120M for an 18 year old after just one good season? Is he Messi or Ronaldo?
He's a big Ronaldo fan apparently. In the 2016 U19 Euro he destroyed a very good Portugal team in the semis and did the Ronaldo celebration against us. Cheeky cnut
With Benzema declining, him going to Madrid would make more sense. United have plenty of holes in their squad to spend this much on a single player and you already have Rashford who's a similar kind of player

More like the rebirth of R9. I would gladly pay £120m for him.
All that looks good when you write it out like that, but we have been far from impressive and very uninspring to watch, it´s made even clearer with Pogba out, that we need several top quality players.
Mbappe would not change our attack, unless we can count on Martial next season (wich we can´t), we need 2 attackers, a central attacker and a left winger.
Imho Fabinho would be a bigger upgrade to our team than Mbappe.
Based on 1 good season? Will he be able to handle the pressure of 120m?
As long as we get either him or Bernardo Silva.
Why do all players need to be watched for more than 1 season? it's clear he's good enough. You don't score against CL level teams so easily if you aren't ready. I would say his transfer fee won't bother him, he's already under huge pressure as it is.
He has fantastic movement and his finishing is composed and deadly. He isn't all about running at speed.
Buy him. There's a reason why the entire world are after him.
This conversation reminds me of the Neymar debates before he joined Barca.
Mbappe is a must get transfer target imo.

Being crippled by a growing injury list and a unrelenting fixture list does that to a team.
We've been the dominant team in all but a handful of games this season, and our lack of victories can be largely put down poor finishing. Having a proper DM will also allow our attacking players, Herrera and Pogba more freedom. I think you're doing the talent we have at our disposal a massive disservice.
Can't see him coming to United.
Would love Silva, Lukaku and Griezmann if we are being greedy lol
We are 16 points off the leaders which is far off.
We are decent in cup competitions as are many lesser sides.
The Europa is Europe's 2nd tier and is very far off the top hence the level of teams who are left in the competition compared with the CL semis.
None of what you posted points to us not being far off
And how many points were the league leaders off first place last season?
How many teams in the history of the league have gone 25 games unbeaten?
I said the league, not the Champions League. There's a massive difference.
We are not far off. If we were to play the top teams they might beat us but they wouldnt hammer us. Football is a strange game. If it were any other team sport, then there would be a gulf between the good teams and the bad teams. But not in football because it is very hard to score a goal.
Remember against Bayern Munich under Moyes. People were saying we would be hammered. We ended up drawing with them in Old Trafford. If we were to play Bayern Munich tomorrow with our best team, I think we would win. Now it would be a different kettle of fish in Bayern. But we would do a better job than what arsenal did.
I saw the same thing when we played Chelsea last month. People looked at where Chelsea are and where we are in the table and immediately said Chelsea would hammer us.
I dont mean to sound pretentious but people who say we will be hammered by such and such team, dont understand football. Because if you sit with ten men behind the ball it becomes very hard to score.
Good, then he'll have seen us make Chelsea look very ordinary
Completely ignoring the 4-0 earlier in the season, and that terrible FA Cup game.
Dont think we were terrible in the FA actually, more the stupid red card just cost us too much.Good, then he'll have seen us make Chelsea look very ordinary
