Sheikh Jassim could sack trio in takeover as Man Utd announcement date set

Former United star Dwight Yorke has admitted he’d like to see Kylian Mbappe or Harry Kane transfer to Old Trafford.

“I don’t think Erik ten Hag has much time to try and make up that gap between Manchester United and Manchester City,” he mentioned.

“Even though Manchester United have had a decent season, I felt they were still someway short, and until they fill that number 9 spot, that becomes a bit of an issue.

“I think the uncertainty with the takeover is always going to put in an element of doubt, but if I were to choose, then Kylian Mbappe would be my first choice without question.

“He’s young, obviously he’s unproven in the Premier League but he’s got class and quality and will be there for the next seven years.

“In that period, I’m sure he would bring success to United.

“For me, Mbappe would be a no brainer, but until the question of where the club is going and who will take over from the Glazers is solved, there will be big question marks, because that’s the only way the club would afford him.

“Harry Kane also fits the bill – if they are trying to get closer to challenging for the Premier League over the next two or three years, then he would be another ideal candidate.”
