Kylian Mbappé

Marcus Rashford has made 347 first-team appearances for Manchester United, registering 120 goals and 66 assists for the club.

"It would not have been difficult for me to adapt though. It is only now that Manchester United have a foundation, that Rashford has been able to develop himself to be a better player. He added: "It would have been a dream to play with Marcus Rashford. He arrived in the team when he was 17/18 and didn't really have the chance to play in a team such as Monaco like [Kylian] Mbappe did when Monaco reached the final of Champions League. People need to realise that he was playing in a team that was going through a transitionary period. The 25-year-old has played a starring role for the Reds since returning from the World Cup in Qatar and won his first trophy since 2017 with a victory over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final in February.

SportsBrief.com News - Didier Deschamps must have been convinced about Kylian Mbappe's leadership capabilities after his passionate speech at halftime ...

Mbappe seemingly has the complete package. In the video, Mbappe is seen giving a passionate speech to his teammates during halftime. "It's the match of a lifetime. The duo linked up for the first goal, with Mbappe setting up Griezmann. The Paris Saint-German star rounded off the rout in the second half. Antoine Griezmann is said to have wanted it, but Head Coach Didier Deschamps gave it to Mbappe instead, much to the disappointment of the Atletico Madrid star.

Kylian Mbappe marked his first game as France captain with a brace in a 4-0 crushing win over the Netherlands in Euro 2024 qualifying on Friday.

France players celebrate their victory at the Euro 2024 group B qualifying soccer match between France and the Netherlands at the Stade de France in Saint Denis, outside Paris, France. Kylian Mbappe, who has taken over the armband from long-term skipper Hugo Lloris, set up his vice-captain Antoine Griezmann to open the scoring inside two minutes at the Stade de France. In Paris, France were three goals up before the midway point in the first half of their Group B opener against a depleted Dutch team.

To see Mbappe playing in Ligue One is like Mona Lisa donning the walls of a nouveau riche industrialist's mansion than in the Louvre Museum.

He left Manchester United, a successful and storied club in itself, to Real Madrid so that he could calibrate his game to the next level, shed the skin of another cycle of metamorphosis, and be the torchbearer of greatness in his era. Besides, he would have to survive pressure from even the French president—Emmanuel Macron personally called him and requested to stay back last year, PSG would shower riches on him again, and there would be legal hurdles in the contract. Of the 20 players in the squad for the Netherlands game, only six play in France. I am here and I am very happy, and for the moment I’m not thinking about anything other than making PSG happy,” he told the reporters after the match. In 33 appearances for the club, he has scored 31 goals and logged in eight assists, though the club is out of Europe. When the teachers asked him about his ambition, he would instantly answer that he wants to play for France and Real Madrid. A discontented Mbappe tried to force a move in the last January transfer window. At the end of the game, a 4-0 canter over the Netherlands in the Euro qualifiers, he held his arms aloft, thanking the crowd drowned in a swarm of Le Bleu renditions, and tugged at the rooster-crest embroidered on his gleaming white shirt. But the Parc de Princes, 30-odd kilometres from Bondy, where he was born, has never felt like home for Mbappe (or for the assortment of their expensive stars). The prickly crown of leadership does not suffocate, rather it has emboldened him; he was more vocal and involved than ever before, more assertive and authoritative. The sole purpose of the goal was to ascertain his frightening finishing skills, to nail a statement that when his mind wills, he could make goal-scoring look like a mockery of defenders and goalkeepers. The second goal was a manifestation of his mischief rather than trickery.

Lukaku has been playing regularly for Inter Milan since then and was a constant threat against Sweden as he scored in the 35th, 49th and 83rd minutes, with two set up by winger Dodi Lukebakio. The two stars embraced, showing there was no lingering feud after Griezmann — the more experienced of the pair — was overlooked for the captaincy in favour of Mbappe following Hugo Lloris’ retirement. “A really good result,” Tedesco said. He ran in behind the Netherlands defence and shot inside the near post after Randal Kolo Muani let a pass from Aurelien Tchouameni roll past him. It took the Paris Saint-Germain striker onto 38 international goals, above Karim Benzema into fifth place on France’s all-time list. France showed no lasting effects from that painful penalty-shootout loss to Argentina in the World Cup final three months ago.

Les Bleus face Ireland on Monday having begun their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign with 4-0 thrashing of Netherlands.

“When they sing their songs in the dressing room, I don't get it. They are all good players, we just have to try our best. I'd have loved to get another goal,” said Ferguson. I'm going to take it on naturally, it's not going to change how I play, but maybe the way I behave.” There’s no other way to describe it. But they go to big clubs aged only 18 or 19 so obviously they learn fast.
