Kimpembe takes aim at Blanc

The promising center back was linked with a summer move to Monaco but has started to thrive at the Parc des Princes under "fair" and "positive" management.

Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe has suggested Laurent Blanc never really trusted the club's promising youngsters and is loving life under new coach Unai Emery.

Kimpembe, 21, made his senior debut under Blanc in 2014-15, but found regular first-team action hard to come by after his maiden appearance as he made just nine appearances in all competitions last term.

The center back has already featured four times this campaign following the arrival of Emery, though, and he is delighted with the change of coach.
