‘Reminds me of Mbappe’ - Mario Kempes praises ‘incredible’ Man United star Alejandro Garnacho

Argentina legend Mario Kempes has likened Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho to Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe and questioned why he wasn't taken to the World Cup.

Garnacho has not played for United since suffering an ankle injury in March’s goalless draw with Southampton is yet to return to team training. The setback meant he missed out on a possible first senior Argentina cap after being called up to the squad for last month’s internationals.

It seems the 18-year-old is making progress on his recovery though, having sent fans wild when sharing a photo of him back in boots on Instagram. It’s been a short sour chapter in a breakthrough season for the teenager.
