Manchester United might have a golden chance to land Kylian Mbappe, but only on one condition. As per a Daily Mirror report, if Sheikh Jassim takes over the club.

Mbappe already made his intentions clear that he is ready to play for PSG for one more season but will not renew his existing deal. The forward's current contract does have a one-year extension clause, but the team cannot trigger it without the consent of the star player himself.

Paris Saint-Germain cannot risk losing the player for free and therefore will be ready to part ways with him this summer. But that would only happen at the right price. He will fetch a fortune and United wouldn't mind taking in a player of his calibre. Erik ten Hag has been in search of a goal poacher and Mbappe could fit the bill perfectly.

The player can play across the front three and can easily combine with the likes of Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho. Real Madrid came close in 2022 to rope in the footballer, but he went on to commit his future with the French club. The Spanish giants might renew their interest after the departure of Karim Benzema, who recently joined Al-Ittihad.
