Dwight Yorke, a former Manchester United striker, believes the club should recruit Kylian Mbappe in the summer of 2021 to have an impact like to Lionel Messi at Inter Miami or Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford.
“If Man Utd sign Mbappe, it will be very good for the Premier League because there will be competition between both Manchester clubs and their superstars,” Yorke told OLBG on July 26. “Mbappe will probably bring Man Utd back to being the number one club on and off the pitch. Man Utd will not be the number one club for many years, but the recruitment of Mbappe will elevate the team to that status.”
The former Trinidad and Tobago striker praised Lionel Messi’s influence at Inter Miami.In the first two games, the Argentine great scored three goals and supplied one assist, helping Inter Miami stop an 11-game losing run.Because to the existence of the 2022 World Cup champion, Inter Miami is one of the most closely followed clubs in the media.
“You see what Messi did at Inter Miami, I think that’s what Mbappe would do with Man Utd if he went to Old Trafford,” Yorke continued. “Mbappe will make Man Utd different from the rest of the clubs. The Premier League is already the number one tournament in the world, and will be raised even more with Mbappe.”
Yorke stated that if he bought Mbappe, Manchester United would be the second Premier League title contender, trailing only Manchester City, and that the signing would have the same impact as bringing Ronaldo back to Old Trafford in 2021.
With the arrival of the Portuguese forward, Manchester United’s social media engagement nearly doubled, hitting more than two billion in only the first year.As a result, Manchester United has eclipsed Barcelona and Real Madrid to become the club with the most social media engagements worldwide for the first time.Ronaldo was also Manchester United’s top scorer in the 2021-2022 season, with 24 goals in all competitions before leaving the club at the end of the season.
“Mbappe is currently the most exciting player in the world. Messi and Ronaldo both still have huge followings, and Mbappe is on his way to do so,” Yorke expressed. “I will be excited as a player as well as a fan if Mbappe signs for Man Utd. Man Utd players, Man City will also be excited, and that will lift the players and the club to one level. a new level”.
This summer, Manchester United dismissed Phil Jones, Axel Tuanzebe, David de Gea, Alex Telles, and Anthony Elanga while adding Mason Mount and Andre Onana.The “Red Devils” are emphasizing striker reinforcements, with Rasmus Hojlund of Atalanta the top target.According to Goal, Old Trafford’s owner has reached an agreement with the Danish striker, but must now negotiate the transfer fee with Atalanta – the club wants $ 78 million in cash.
Manchester United, according to Sky Sports, is one of the clubs interested in signing Mbappe, who was taken off PSG’s pre-season tour in Japan and placed on the transfer list.During a news conference on July 25, however, coach Erik ten Hag refuted this concept since he did not want to discuss a player who was still under contract with another club.
