Mbappe heads to Old Trafford as the last surviving member of Paris Saint-Germain's famed front three, with Neymar and Edinson Cavani both missing the Champions League last-16, first leg tie through injury. ​The 20-year-old has scored a remarkable 22 goals in 27 appearances in all competitions this season, following on from the World Cup winners' medal he won alongside fellow Frenchman Pogba last summer. “What’s so special [about Kylian] is that he’s maybe 20 and plays like he’s 27 - and 27 is when you have a lot of experience,” Pogba told United's official website ahead of Tuesday's clash. You think about Thierry Henry, Ronaldo – he’s this kind of player, who can score goals, is very fast, can dribble, can make assists. But while Mbappe will be crucial in the game, Pogba added that United are fortunate not to be facing a certain teammate of his.
