Emery backs Mbappe to shine on Monaco return

Kylian Mbappe will be fired up for a "special" occasion when he returns to former club Monaco on Sunday, according to Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery.

Teenage France striker Mbappe enjoyed a stunning breakthrough season with Monaco last term, scoring 26 goals in all competitions to fire Leonardo Jardim's side to the Ligue 1 title at PSG's expense.

Mbappe hat-trick 12/1

But Bernardo Silva, Benjamin Mendy and Tiemoue Bakayoko all departed for the Premier League during the latest transfer window, while Mbappe opted to join Neymar in moving to the French capital, where the pair have formed an all-star forward line with Edinson Cavani.
