The answer to this thread is trivial: of course yes to Mbappe. The real question is do we have a chance? Or it's just people speculating to make themselves feel nice about potential Qatar ownership?
Would you take Mbappe if given the chance?
- Thread starter Sir Erik ten Hag
- Start date
As exciting as it would be, Rashford and Mbappe aren’t even half the player when they play on the right hand side compared to when the play from the left.
Actually insane reading some of the replies saying no.
He is walking and on a path to become a GOAT. The goat path.
Peak Mbappe on peak C.Ronaldo and Messi level and GOAT path.
Best of the best level. And it's true fact.
And Ronaldo, Messi and Mbappe level = best of the best = a level over Kane and Osihmen. The unique and one out of millions.
And you rise your chance to win the biggest trophies. If you are on the GOAT path level.

Absolute elite but don't see him ever becoming a Utd player,he will make that move to Madrid eventually I am convinced of that
All it takes is a phone call from Erik with a filthy rich owner backing him financially. Thats how football works these days.
With £31m cash in the bank, its a pipe dream even if we want him.
Maybe they'd prefer to see maguire up front...
As I said at the start of this thread, the question is the wrong question. Any football fan who knows anything about football would want the best footballer in the world in their team. With Rashford arguably the second best left winger in the world, the question should be how we would accommodate Mbappe and Rashford in the same team?
Question may as well be 'would you take prime Maradona if given the chance (and a functioning time machine). The answer will always be 'absolutely but no chance it happens'.
I wouldn't touch him with a full military grade compliment of PPE and 17 booster jabs.
Serious note: Fantastic player but absolute mercenary and the ultimate cry baby. Would upset the chemistry of the team for sure and be pining for his Madrid move in the papers the next day.

I think we could do with an attacker like him
Yes, going from Weghorst to Mbappe would have to be the biggest upgrade in world football.
Mbappe would be better signing than prime Maradona, we all know that only lasted a few years.
If the Glazers remain in charge there is no chance we sign him but obviously if there ever was a chance of course the answer is yes.
Oh yeah it needs that level of investment
If even PSG is struggling with it then I don't see which club can afford his contract without their entire wage structure being cannibalized
He's on something like £1.2m a week isn't he. Mental.
Yeah exactly
Nice little loyalty bonus he got there, 60 mill a year, yeah he is staying.

Just peanuts to him, I'd guess.
If he stays in Ligue 1, then he isn't on the right path at all. If he really wants to be the best in the world then he needs to move to Spain or England soon.
In terms of having him at United, as talented as he clearly is as player his wage demands make him one to avoid. If we signed him on 1.2 million a week, straight away you'd have Rashford's agent wanting 1 million a week, then before you know it Garnacho wants 400k a week etc.
Yeah it's the eye watering wages that are biggest obstacle with him without doubt
Would you date Scarlett Johansson if given the chance?
This is more like it.
As a player? For sure...but feck any player coming in wanting in on club decision making.
But but...we already have world class Rashford.
But but...
Right at the same time that the press in Qatar broke the story that Jassim has won.
I'm not sure how to feel about this. Obviously I would be elated if he actually came but his best position is on left where Rashford is. I can see Rashford leaving if he came.
While Rashford is not on the same level but he can be world class on his day too. He also seemed to improving all the time under ETH.

Rashford can play in the centre as well. Real Madrid was chasing Mbappe even when they had Vinicius playing on the left. So we can also adapt. Can even have Martial going to PSG to sweeten the deal. If we think of it as Mbappe replacing Martial, things wouldn't look so bad.
I don't think Rashford is as good in the centre as on the left. We would be better off buying someone that excels playing in the center.
I don't think PSG will take Martial even if we pay them to.
Yeah that would be an enormous upgrade
Would you take Hojlund in the middle being supplied by him,yes I know it's not Kane/Osimhen
TBH I've not heard of Hojlund until recently but from the customary youtube compilations, he looked a tough bastard with good link up play. I'm on board! Rather him than being fleeced by Levy. Osimhen would cost our entire budget and no guarantee to adapt to the premiere league.
What would people say to Mbappe-Rashford swap? I would be against it as it would be gutting to see Rashford leave but we would be getting a better player so it is still a debate
I dunno, I'd constantly be worried about her leaving me. Which I guess is applicable to Mbappe as well.
Absolutely would take him at whatever cost we could afford.
He would guarantee goals, he could score goals out of nothing and win games on his own, he is unstoppable on the pitch and he is currently few steps ahead of everyone else (any player other than Haaland). He is still young and he would probably remain to be the best 1 or 2 players in the world in foreseeable future. He is a generational player.

I would take mbappe in a minute. In fact I am hoping the Qataris win the race to buy the club and the first thing they do is buy mbappe.
I know that Marcus is an academy player and that's special but Mbappe is elite tier,however wouldn't worry because don't see it happening
