Kylian Mbappe tells Man Utd they’re getting ‘very complete’ striker if they SNUB Harry Kane for World Cup star
KYLIAN MBAPPE has told admirers of one of his French teammates that they would be getting a “very complete” striker if they were to sign him.
Speculation is mounting over the £105m-rated Randal Kolo Muani who is enjoying a brilliant season in Germany.

His goal-scoring ability has not gone unnoticed either with the 24-year-old on the radar of Manchester United alongside Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen as they prepare to land a top quality striker in the summer.
And new France captain Mbappe, arguably the best player in the world, was happy to offer his take on the Eintracht Frankfurt forward.
Speaking after their 4-0 win over Holland, the PSG star said: “He is a striker who offers different game options to our team. He is very complete and has an impressive volume of play.
“We are happy with the game he played on Friday and I hope he scores [against Ireland]. We will try to get him to score a goal.”
Kolo Muani did not hit the net in the victory but impressed with another dynamic, all-action display.
The striker has only made seven appearances for France and has just one goal to his name, but it was in the World Cup semi-final to help seal the win against Morocco back in December.
Kolo Muani can expect more football at international level in the coming years with Karim Benzema retiring from France duty in the days following Les Bleus’ World Cup Final defeat.
Meanwhile, the country’s all-time top scorer Olivier Giroud is 36 and likely won’t be leading the line in the 2026 World Cup.

The future is also exciting at club level for Kolo Muani.
Man United have been repeatedly linked to the striker in their bid to find a long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.
And the interest could be mutual with the Frenchman dropping a huge hint earlier this month that he is open to a move away from Frankfurt.
He said of his future: “We talk about it a lot already, but I try to be focused on my club.
“We continue our performances and we will see this summer. Afterwards, I always dreamed of playing in big clubs.”
Kolo Muani has 11 goals and 10 assists in the Bundesliga this season.
