Manchester United fans have finally received some positive news in what has been a lackluster season. It has been reported that the club is set to receive a massive $2 billion investment next year. With the enormous sum at their disposal, the side has been linked with a move for PSG star Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman is currently in the final year of his contract with the club and will walk out as a free agent next summer.

However, bagging Mbappe’s signatures is not a straightforward job for the Red Devils. The club will receive stiff competition from Real Madrid who are hoping to land the player as well. PSG, too, is trying their best to hold down the player to a new contract. It will be interesting to see if the big financial boost can help United lure Mbappe to Old Trafford.

Erik Ten Hag and his men have been subpar this season. The side has struggled to deliver in the League and is on the cusp of being knocked out of the UCL. With Sir Jim Radcliffe set to buy stakes in the club, the billionaire is set to put in a massive $2 billion investment into the club.

This is big news for the club and its fans, as the money can help the team compete alongside some of the other teams during the transfer market. For years, Manchester United fans have been eager to see someone new take the club and provide them with an edge in the competition. The team will need a big revamp in the coming seasons and it seems like the side has already found their first target.

According to emerging reports, the side has outlined Kylian Mbappe as a potential transfer target. The Frenchman is one of the best players in the world right now and could provide a significant boost to the side in the attacking third.

However, Manchester United are not the only suitors in the race for the Frenchman. Multiple sides across Europe have been interested in the player’s signatures and will join the race if the player is available for free next season.

Mbappe has been very clear with his stance surrounding the Parisian side. The player has also refused his set loyalty bonus to soften the blow to the club following departure. PSG, on the other hand, knows that losing the player for free will be a massive loss, and is trying their best to find a way to keep a hold of him for at least one more season.

The side tried to sell the player during the summer transfer window, but their massive price tag has thrown teams off. With Mbappe still in denial to renew his contract, the side might try to sell him in January. With a significant amount of money coming in, this could be a good opportunity for United to make a bid for the player.
