Wayne Rooney: 'Mbappe has to go to Man United or Real Madrid to reach levels of Messi and Ronaldo'

Speaking about what Kylian Mbappe should do after his heroics at the World Cup with France, Wayne Rooney said: “I think he needs to leave that club and go to the Premier League. PSG are a massive club, but I think he’s done everything he can in the Ligue 1.

“Maybe a Manchester United or Real Madrid. If he needs to reach the level of Messi and Ronaldo I think he needs to join Manchester United or Real Madrid.”

Mbappe, who won the World Cup Golden Boot with eight goals, still has a contract with PSG that he signed earlier this year, which only expires in 2025. The Frenchman is yet to make a public announcement on what lies in his future, but there are rumours that he might look to leave the club next year.

If United does want to sign him next year, they’ll probably have to pay a club-record fee to sign him and also make him their highest-paid player as well as THE player to revolve their project around.
