Kylian Mbappe: Erik ten Hag Gives Cryptic Response After Fan Asks Him to Sign PSG Star for Manchester United

• Erik ten Hag has once been confronted with the idea of signing Kylian Mbappe for Manchester United
• Despite recently signing a new contract in Paris, Mbappe continues to be linked with a move away
• Ten Hag has in the past admitted he is a fan of the French star and Borussia Dortmund's star Jude Bellingham

Erik ten Hag provided a telling response after Manchester united fans cornered him to sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain.

Mbappe is arguably the best player in world football after his exquisite performances at the FIFA World Cup last year. However, Manchester United fans will argue Marcus Rashford's form has shoved him into the debate.

The French star has always been subject to transfer rumours, with Real Madrid believed to be his preferred destination. He came close to leaving last summer but was convinced by a bumper contract to stay put in Paris.

He recently shared a cryptic post on Instagram after PSG went 1-0 down to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. The caption alluded that he wanted his team to put on Manchester United-esque performance in the second leg.

United fans cornered ten Hag to sign the 24-year-old. It is not the first time the Red Devils faithful have asked the Dutch manager to make the signing happen. In the latest incident, a fan approached ten Hag with a United shirt with Mbappe's name. The former Ajax manager laughed off the gesture as he drove past the fan.

He chuckled and told them he would love to, but the Red Devils won't have the funds to sanction such moves.

Mbappe is valued at at least 158 million euros, while Dortmund would also want an excess of 100 million to let go of their midfield prodigy.

Ten Hag will be hoping to win his first title in England when he leads out his side at Wembley to face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final.
