A SHOCK report has claimed that it is “not impossible” that Manchester United could be involved in a huge swap deal to bring in Kylian Mbappe.
The 24-year-old rocked Paris Saint-Germain this week by submitting a letter declaring his intention to run down his contract.

The ace’s mega deal, worth nearly £900,000-a-week, expires next year.
And PSG are not prepared to lose him for free, with a summer transfer now increasingly likely.
Real Madrid have long been thought to be Mbappe’s next destination, with Carlo Ancelotti left gutted after missing out on him in 2022.
It was then reported that Mbappe could end up making his way to Man United instead with fans dreaming of pulling off the major deal should the Qatari takeover go through.
However, PSG have also been long-term admirers of United’s Marcus Rashford.
The 25-year-old England star also only has 12 months remaining on his contract, although we revealed that he looks set to commit his future to the Red Devils.
And now it has been suggested that a potential bumper swap deal involving Rashford and Mbappe could be a possibility – although it is “very unlikely”.
The Daily Mail states: “Rashford has yet to sign a new contract and is in the same situation as Mbappe with one year left on his current deal.
“PSG have expressed a strong interest in Rashford and, in theory, a swap deal involving the two players is not impossible.
“But it remains very unlikely and, either way, United are confident that Rashford will agree new terms.”
Although the prospect of what would be an incredible transfer swap deal looks slim, it would certainly go down as perhaps the biggest one in history.
Although there have been several others in the past involving some of football’s mega stars.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Samuel Eto’o swapped clubs in Inter Milan and Barcelona back in 2009 in a move that shook up European football.
Chelsea gave Arsenal £5m plus defender William Gallas for Ashley Cole in 2006 in one of the Premier League’s biggest player trades.
