Kylian Mbappe is one of several superstars who could be on Manchester United’s radar when their contracts expire in 2024.
The Frenchman has the option of leaving Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. This will cost PSG a lot of money, but it will be extremely helpful to Mbappe financially.
The 24-year-old is entering his prime footballing years, so his next destination will be intriguing. As the MEN Sport investigates, he is among a long list of out-of-contract talents on whom United may aim to pounce next summer in order to conserve money for new incomings.
Kylian Mbappe
In recent years, United’s Hollywood signings have frequently backfired, but signing one of the finest players in the world would be a true statement of intent. It would undoubtedly put to rest any doubts about the club’s capacity to attract top talent.
Mbappe is clearly uninterested in Paris, but the Frenchman has been a thorn in the side of the French champions. He is nearing the end of his contract and will have his pick of Europe’s top clubs next summer.
Nico Williams
For several years, the La Liga teenager has impressed at Bilbao.
Williams, 21, is still in the early stages of his career and appears to be on his way to greater and better things. He fits the profile of a United addition, although the club’s track record in nurturing young players has recently been questioned.
Adrien Rabiot
Rabiot was on the verge of joining Manchester United last summer. Negotiations with his agent, his mother, proved difficult, and despite reports of dissatisfaction, the Frenchman was content to remain at Juventus.
The 28-year-old can play a variety of positions. Erik ten Hag would appreciate such versatility because his team is lacking in depth.
Piotr Zielinski
Zielinski is a very neat footballer who plays in an open style. He is at ease with the ball at his feet and is always eager to connect with teammates and execute forward-thinking passes.
United’s squad is severely lacking in forward-thinking players, and the 29-year-old could fill that void. However, his age may turn off the transfer committee.
Mario Hermoso
Hermoso is an important part of Diego Simeone’s defense. He is primarily a central defender, but he has also played left back in several games.
Hermoso, 28, has a lot of experience and is at ease with the ball at his feet. He understands the ‘black arts’ of shutting down an opponent and might offer grit to the United backline.
