Kylian Mbappe: "Paul Pogba Has Spoken About How Special Marcus Rashford Is"

Kylian Mbappe has highlighted the threat of Marcus Rashford ahead of tonight's Champions League clash after glowing praise from Paul Pogba.

Paris Saint-Germain begin their European quest versus Manchester United.

They haven't played against each other since the dramatic fixture in March 2019 when Rashford scored a last gasp winner to send his team through to the next round.

Pogba, who didn't play in that game, is available this time around and he's warned his French colleague about the England international.

Speaking ahead of PSG vs. United, Mbappe said: "He's one of the most dangerous forward players in England.

"Paul Pogba has spoken about how special he is and he doesn't talk about players in such a way often."

The PSG star added: "When you take a penalty in that situation, how much practice you have put on the training ground doesn't matter.

"It's about confidence and he's a player who plays with so much confidence."

Mbappe helped PSG reach the Champions League final last season.

They were eventually beaten by Bayern Munich who won the Lisbon showpiece 1-0 in August.

Bruno Fernandes will captain United after starring for his side against Newcastle on the weekend.
