Man United want to sign the 'next Kylian Mbappé' - Ratcliffe

Manchester United's new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has said he wants to sign "the next Kylian Mbappé" rather than enter the race for the French superstar's signature this summer.

Ratcliffe and his team, headed by Sir Dave Brailsford, are preparing for their first summer transfer window since acquiring a 27.7% stake in the club.

Mbappé is available after announcing his decision to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season, and ESPN sources say he is expected to join Real Madrid, but Ratcliffe suggested United will look to sign emerging talent rather than established stars.
