Djorkaeff tells Monaco ace Mbappe: ‘Pay attention’ to Man Utd situation of Martial

France great Youri Djorkaeff has implored AS Monaco young gun Kylian Mbappe to be careful.

The 18-year-old striker is the talk of European football right now due to his dazzling performances at club level for Monaco, resulting in his first France senior call-up.

The likes of PSG, Manchester United and Chelsea have been heavily linked but Monaco legend Djorkaeff says you only need to look at the stalled progress of Anthony Martial at Manchester United to suggest a similar move is not necessarily the best case for Mbappe.

"If I were the president of PSG, I would sign him, but I would not be the only one [in for him]," he told French newspaper Le Figaro.

"He has tremendous potential, but he must be in the right conditions.

"Look at Martial, when you go to a big club, you have to adapt and discover something else.

"Mbappe must pay attention to all this."
