#1 Kylian Mbappe

A legend in the making

The World Cup ensured that the rise of Kylian Mbappe continued as the French youngster has become a household name after his astonishing performances at the World Cup.

The 19-year-old became the first teenager since Pele to score two goals in a single World Cup knockout game and also became the first teenager since the great Brazilian to score in the final.

As a result, his status in world football has reached the top echelons – which is why Manchester United wanted to sign him as, according to Mirror, their new strategy is to buy young talent and nurture them.

PSG, who bought for him for a deal worth around €185 million, rejected the advances of the Old Trafford outfit straight away.
