Vincent Kompany compares Kylian Mbappe to Messi and Ronaldo after star turn in France's World Cup rout of Australia... but insists fans will only see the 'best version' of him if he moves to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City!

Vincent Kompany has heaped praise on Kylian Mbappe, comparing him to legends like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo after a star turn for France.

The 23-year-old superstar forward helped Les Bleus thrash Australia 4-1 in their World Cup opener on Tuesday night, with a goal and an assist for Didier Deschamps' side.

But Burnley manager Kompany insisted football fans will only see the best version of Mbappe if he moves to the 'best coach in the best league' - which he believes is Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, his former club.
