Wales coach Ryan Giggs admits Manchester United passed on signing France World Cup star Kylian Mbappe for a cut price fee.

Giggs revealed last year that he had watched Mbappe in action and had been very impressed with his performances.

He even urged the club's transfer chiefs to go all out to get the teenager, who would have been available for a bargain fee.

"I watched Mbappe play a year ago" Giggs told The Times.

"I was watching him and Gabriel Jesus with the chief scout and it was a no-brainer. It was just like, 'Get them'.

"It would have cost £5million or something - get them, loan them back - and that's where the recruitment could have been better.

"I know what a Manchester United player looks like."
