  • Kylian Mbappe has appeared to question Mauricio Pochettino's game style with the manager's future at Paris Saint-Germain in serious doubt
  • Mbappe has argued that PSG have not dominated the French League like they are accustomed to in the last two years
  • The 23-year-old recently signed a bumper contract which is believed allows him to voice his opinion on who the club appoints as manager

Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has seemingly questioned Mauricio Pochettino's tactics. Pochettino won the French League title but that wasn't enough to please the owners and the fans in general.

PSG collapsed at the hands of Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 despite holding what looked like a 'healthy lead.' Rumours have been swirling around that the Argentine manager has already lost his job with the club poised to make it official soon.

This past season we weren't as fearsome, we were far less untouchable. We want to go back to being intimidating in France, something we have not done these past two years.

Pochettino won the league by beating the second-placed team with over 15 points. But boos rocked the Parc Des Princes as a majority of the fans believed he was not the right person to lead the club to their maiden Champions League title.

Kylian Mbappe has set the Champions League as the ultimate target for PSG next season

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Kylian Mbappe had set the Champions League as his ultimate target with Paris Saint Germain next season.

The Frenchman shocked the world a few weeks ago as he dealt Real Madrid a blow when he decided to extend his contract with PSG until 2025 despite an offer to join Los Blancos on a free transfer.

Since joining PSG from Monaco in 2017, the 23-year-old has failed to experience his team thriving in Europe’s elite club competition.
