Man United legend takes swipe at Kylian Mbappe and claims he should 'NEVER' be compared to Thierry Henry after struggles at Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappe is overhyped and doesn't belong in the same sentence as Thierry Henry, according to Patrice Evra.

The Manchester United legend has sought to pull Mbappe down a peg after an underwhelming start to life at Real Madrid.

Madrid signed Mbappe from PSG for free in the summer to make him the star of the show but he has lagged behind Vinicius Junior, recording 17 goal contributions to the Brazilian's 23.

In fairness to Mbappe, a haul of 14 goals scored is nothing to be sniffed at, but such are the demands of Los Blancos and the Spanish and French media that he has been branded a disappointment, particuarly when Madrid handed him a £85.
