Monaco’s amazing team of talented and athletic players is the talk of the Transfer Tavern right now, with fans of England’s biggest clubs carving up the Ligue 1 leaders’ XI on a daily basis as they put forward the stars they want, so ESPN’s report that Manchester United want Kylian Mbappe and Tiemoue Bakayoko has been greeted with excitement.
It’s understood that Red Devils scout Marcel Bout was sent to the Stade Louis II last night to watch the Principality club beat Manchester City 3-1 and book a spot in the last eight of the Champions League with the aforementioned pair the subject of the trip.
Mbappe, who is seen as one of Europe’s finest young attackers, netted the opening goal while box-to-box midfielder Bakayoko scored the decisive third that put Monaco through on away goals, which surely impressed Bout.
ESPN claim that interest in both players from Manchester has ‘stepped up’, while suggesting that the latter could be a long-term replacement for Michael Carrick.
Kylian Mbappe has more potential than Anthony Martial – agree?
