Kylian Mbappe will be training with Paris Saint-Germain’s ‘B’ squad this morning as his feud with the club continues.
The 24-year-old striker is in a stand-off with the French champions over his failure to sign a contract extension.
Mbappe’s deal expires at the end of the forthcoming campaign and officials, who believe he has agreed a deal with Real Madrid starting in 2024, are keen to pick up a transfer fee for their £250million asset before he can walk out for nothing. Mbappe has recently turned down a ‘guaranteed sale’ clause for the end of this season, demanding a free transfer instead.
Rasmus Hojlund waiting for squad number
Manchester United’s £72million new boy Rasmus Hojlund is yet to be given a squad number. The club could have cashed in by making a call ahead of Saturday’s friendly triumph over Lens at Old Trafford, before which the striker was introduced to the crowd.
However, United are working on a number of deals and want to wait until they have a clearer picture of their squad before committing to shirt numbers.
An unwanted knock-on effect of new FA rules aimed at cleaning up football reared its head on Saturday when two managers who had been sent off were unable to give their versions of events to the press.
West Bromwich’s Carlos Corberan and Hull’s Liam Rosenior were gagged because anyone dismissed can no longer attend ‘post-match media commitments’.
It was not a great day for defeated Hull, whose live alerts system on their new app sent out the following message as the game against Norwich began: ‘Kick-off! Up the Toffees!’
