LOUIS SAHA believes Manchester United should not sign Kylian Mbappe this summer.
The former United striker also feels his old club will regret missing out on England star Harry Kane.
United have been strongly linked with both forwards this summer, with their futures at Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur uncertain.
However, it is unclear who will end up joining Erik ten Hag’s side before the transfer window closes.
Saha has given his verdict on Mbappe and Kane, though, telling Compare.bet that he believes the Frenchman would not be the right fit.
He explained: “Both Neymar and Mbappe have a similar profile – they are superstars that come with a lot of distractions and situations the manager has to cope with.

“They come with big entourages and lots of press following them and they require lots of management.
“This isn’t the best fit for Ten Hag’s Manchester United. It’s about strong discipline, consistency and putting the team first.
“Neymar and Mbappe are two of the most talented players in the world, but a move to United would require them to adapt and follow the team’s rules, rather than for those superstars to impose their own style.”
PSG are thought to be open to selling Mbappe this summer, who has confirmed he will not be extending his deal beyond next year.

United are one of a number of clubs to have since been linked and could table a potential swap deal once their takeover is completed.
As for Kane, Saha has warned Ten Hag that he will regret not signing England’s record goalscorer.
He added: “Any player other than Harry Kane is going to be a gamble, and I think United will regret it if they don’t go in for Kane.
“Look, if you can find another Haaland — someone who can come in and score 50 goals in their first season — then go for it, but I doubt they’ll find someone like that.
“Kane is the only player who won’t need time to adapt and will be ready to perform and score goals immediately.”
United had been lauded as Kane’s only choice if he was to leave Spurs this summer, but the club’s interest is thought to have cooled.
Fearing Spurs will not sell to a Premier League rival, the Red Devils are instead pushing to sign Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund ahead of next season.
