Nani And Ferdinand Urge United To Sign PSG Forward This Summer

Former Manchester United Players Luis Nani and Rio Ferdinand have both urged the club to complete the signing of Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé when the summer transfer window permits for business transactions later this year.
