Robert Pires asked if Kylian Mbappe is joining Real Madrid... here's his answer
ROBERT PIRES doesn't think Kylian Mbappe should move to Real Madrid this summer.
Robert Pires reckons Kylian Mbappe should reject the chance to move to Real Madrid
Spanish newspaper Marca this week claimed the Monaco hitman, 18, had chosen to move to the Bernabeu.
That's despite Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho being desperate to lure the whizzkid - one of the game's hottest prospects - to Old Trafford.
But Pires thinks it's too soon for his countryman to move to Spanish giants Real.
He told Sky Sports: "I think it's early if he's joining Real Madrid next season because he needs to play and learn.
"Monaco is a great club for young players.
"Of course he's doing well. He's playing in the semi-final of the Champions League.
"I hope for him and for us he wins the title in France.
"He needs to take time, be patient because the most important thing is to play football."
