Luis Enrique insists Madrid-bound Mbappe behaves admirably

Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique has once again debunked rumours of a sour relationship between himself and Real Madrid-bound Kylian Mbappe.

Sources claim Mbappe called Enrique a “son of a b*tch” after he was substituted barely one hour into PSG’s Ligue 1 fixture against Marseille on Sunday.

Reacting to the claims, Enrique told reporters, “What’s curious is everything that’s being said based on a piece of false news.

“Someone has invented an insult [based on lipreading of a video showing Mbappe as he made his way off the pitch] and then from that comes all kinds of speculations.

“I’m taking it all in my stride. I’m very happy with all my players, Kylian included, he’s always behaved admirably.”

Known to be the French club poster boy, Mbappe’s playing time has drastically reduced ever since the news broke out that his dream move to the Santiago Bernabéu is all but confirmed.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup has now been brought off three times and been benched once.
