Manchester United allegedly rejected a chance to sign Kylian Mbappé following a scouting mission by former club player Ryan Giggs in 2015, according to reports drawing on Giggs’ recollections. Mbappé later went on to become one of the world’s leading forwards.
The outlets describe how, at the time, United’s evaluation did not support an immediate move for the then-young player. Both sources link the decision to Giggs’ scouting and portray the later rise in Mbappé’s profile as the main contrast with the earlier assessment. While they agree on the broad claim that United did not pursue the signing in that period, the reports differ mainly in emphasis, with one highlighting United’s rejection directly and the other contextualizing Mbappé’s subsequent careers at Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain before later success.
