When Kylian Mbappe Praised Marcus Rashford As Manchester United Eye Possible Link Up

• News that a prospective Manchester United owner wants to sign Kylian Mbappe has elicited reactions
• Mbappe linking up with Marcus Rashford could be very unwelcome news for Premier League defenders
• Judging by their social media interactions, Mbappe and Rashford appear to share a close relationship

Kylian Mbappe and Marcus Rashford are arguably among the fastest-rising stars in modern-day football. The former especially has already exacted his presence with blistering performances on the biggest of stages, such as the World Cup final.

Rashford, meanwhile, has really come to the fore this season under Erik ten Hag, though for the ones who started following him when he made his debut in February 2016, they will attest to the fact that his talent has always been there; it has always been just a case of lack of confidence.

Therefore, the idea of these two possibly linking up at Old Trafford next season creates an interesting prospect.

It is definitely still a long way to go before that ever happens, given that Paris Saint-Germain will literally demand an arm and a leg to let the 24-year-old leave.

As Sport Bible reports, Mbappe and Rashford already have a rapport and have the greatest amount of respect for each other. They have met a couple of times, the most recent being the World Cup quarter-final, where France triumphed over England.

What Mbappe said about Rashford

Ahead of a UEFA Champions League meeting in 2020, Mbappe heaped praise on Rashford, calling him a 'dangerous' player.

"He's one of the most dangerous forward players in England. Paul Pogba has spoken about how special he is - and he doesn't talk about players in such a way often."

Mbappe also comforted Rashford after the Three Lions' elimination from the World Cup quarter-final, as reported by Sports Brief.

From the foregoing, these two players seem to have existing chemistry and would kill it under ten Hag.

Will Mbappe join Manchester United?

Sports Brief had earlier reported that potential new Man United owner, Sheikh Jassim is already plotting big-money moves should he take over.

Even as the process to select who will take over from the Glazer family continues, Sheikh Jassim's marquee signings would include Mbappe.
