Didn't know that. Interesting.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Not really. I don't understand why we blame and credit individuals only with teams victories. Mbappe has been excellent for PSG. Madrid wouldn't be bidding 180/200 million otherwise.
The season after that was cut short by COVID if you remember, Ligue 1 was one of the only leagues to stop halfway, he was already at 30 goals for the season and would have exceeded his previous season, then this past season he's scored 42 goals, his highest ever tally. In 2021 he scored more goals than even Haaland who is a CF.
So yes, he has been improving season over season without a doubt. Only those who barely watch him or only turn up for the CL might not realize that.
Stop making shit up. In Ligue 1:
Monaco final season: 1 goal every 99 minutes
PSG 1: 1 goal every 236 minutes
PSG 2: 1 goal every 70 minutes
PSG 3: 1 goal every 84 minutes
PSG 4: 1 goal every 88 minutes
So he’s joined a much more dominant side, and at their most dominant he had by far his best season as they twatted 105 goals for the season.
Again, you're looking at stats without context, you're taking a shortcut over actually seeing him play week-in/week-out. Last season was his most dominant if you look at his overall contribution both goals and the CL, and he started that season very poorly which is what lowered his min/goal ratio this past season. If you look at the second half of that season, I'm guessing his min/goal is the best he ever had (although that second season coming back from the WC he probably would have been European golden boot if not for the suspensions, he was right there with Messi with less games played). PSG 3 was cut in half as I mentioned, he only had the CL left to compete in and was badly injured on his ankle in one of the last games of Ligue 1 before COVID and was rushed back on the field for the CL games being clearly hindered.
Something hilarious about seeing someone telling you to stop making shit up who sees him less than you and uses min/goal ratio as his ultimate argument.

ah, so the man who started this by saying “the numbers reflect it” now wants to ignore the stats because they have no context.
Fair enough, fine by me.
So back to the original point then, he was miles better at the World Cup, the bloke absolutely stunk the place out these Euros. Has he really improved that much?
So ronaldo is mbappe's childhood hero, could we tempt him next summer?
I think that Mbappe wants to be Ronaldo more than he wants to play with Ronaldo. He could have in 2017 but he chose PSG probably because he didn't feel ready yet to follow his footsteps.
Don't think he is interested. Also, we will probably have to sell both Rashford, Martial to accomodate the turtle. Personally I don't think Mbappe, Haaland are anywhere near Cr7/Messi in terms of get him at any cost type of talent.
Yeah it strikes me as more of the wear his face rather than see his face sort of hero worship.

So if Mbappe wasn't getting ready to leave they wouldn't bother helping those underprivileged children then?
What sort of comment is this? It's about doing that with Mbappé's name on it. On top of that, PSG has a very active foundation for poor and sick childen.
What was recently reported though is the fact that PSG might offer a shorter contract than the previous one, which is actually smart since Mbappé doesn't seem to be interested in staying 5 more years. I'm still not very optimistic it'll work but who knows, maybe 1 or 2 extra years.
Genuine question. Am I alone in thinking the hype around this guy is crazy ?
Future king at Madrid and La liga if he joined RM one day. Hope he does.
Both ex La liga kings have left. In first Ronaldo. Then Messi. The throne is free and not occupied. Will be the most stand out player then. The new La Liga king.

I just don't see him resigning with PSG....seems like he is destined to go to Madrid much like Camavinga did and Pogba probably will
I also think he is a bit overrated. Neymar was a beast when he was young and was supposed to take over from Messi and Ronaldo eventually. Look how that turned out.
Not saying he isn't a great player it's just the hype that irks me. Anyway, Real won't bother since it's free .

Ronaldo and Messi will be retired by the time he reaches his prime years so him and Haaland will probably be the balon d'or winners in 3-4 years. Of course, other players may step up too.
Might be one of the worst finisher in football. In my opinion, he is definetly the worse when compared to other top players
We need him to leave PSG to find out more about him I reckon. He's good but the hype has gotten a bit out of hand I'd say.
Regressing under Poch.
Agreed. The hype is outrageous. Most overrated player I can recall in ages. He might justify it in time, but his technique and particularly his finishing is never good enough for a top player for me.
Vinicius has been better than him quite easily this season.
He has been so poor this season. However, You cant put blame on poch as when you have players like Ronaldo, and Bruno playing well under a bad manager like Ole. you have to ask whether the hype for him was ever justified. Players who are world class will perform regardless of who the manager is. the manager can help refine their game but true world class talent showcase that day in and day out regardless of manager.
We'll have to see how he does when he is the focal point of the Real Madrid team next season. PSG are nuts for turning down £180mil offer for a player who is 99.9% certain to leave on free.
Looked World Class last time out against City and on many important occasions in CL last year.
Maybe i need to watch him more but i am always underwhelmed whenever i see him play. Maybe its the unfair expectations that i have or he isnt the player yet that he is made out to be.
They’re aren’t nuts though, 180m is literally peanuts for them, and City’s court case killed ffp in reality, that’s the ridiculous thing here.
Yeah but 180m versus nothing
Makes sense to take the money
Havent watched him play too much and his finishing is letting him down at times but 6 goals and 9 assists in 15 matches this season. But has been so poor?
Seems like he is judged by outrageous standards which the world class players are.

I don't think it does to them.
Their AUM are worth 300 billion US dollars. 207 million dollars (what Madrid offered for Mbappe) is worth 0.06% of their AUM. It is in fact, less than peanuts, and for them, Mbappe together with Messi and Neymar for a season is worth much more than "less than peanuts". They likely think keeping him makes them one of the favourites for old big ears, which is of course their ultimate goal.
That's what we're dealing with here with regards to City, PSG and Newcastle. Clubs that wouldn't bat an eyelid at those sums.
Rough spell that’s all, his goals and assists are still pretty good. He will be back banging them in soon.
PSG aren’t playing well under Poch.

Yeah, it was pure ego that made them turn it down. When they signed Messi, they should have taken the money and played Messi false 9 with di Maria or another hard worker on the wing. Now they are struggling with fitting all 3 of those front players in who don't like tracking back.
He's just going through some poor form ( for him)
His talent is outrageous, but he's suffering from a poor display in the summer.

Feels like he's gotten over it now, his consistency is incredible for his age.
31 goals/assists (15g/16a) so far this season for club/country.
Simply put, he's been carrying the PSG attack thus far.
Neymar?
Still Madrid bound ?
Sorry, but he won't ever win any individual accolades such as Ballon d'or if he stays there.
Not sure where Mbappe on a free transfer will rank in the list of Perez flexes, below stealing Figo but above selling Cristiano for a profit?
