Paris Saint-Germain would be open to Kylian Mbappe moving to Manchester United, it has been claimed.
Sheikh Jassim has bid £5billion to buy 100 per cent of United but faces stiff competition from British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe to purchase the club.
Indeed, Ratcliffe’s Ineos Group have allegedly put a higher value on the Old Trafford club than the Qatari banker, though are merely looking for a controlling stake in the Premier League giants.

The Briton could also look to allow Joel and Avram Glazer to retain a minority stake in the club.
Should Sheikh Jassim beat off Ratcliffe’s bid, however, he has reportedly planned a hugely ambitious summer transfer window.
Bild’s head of sport Christian Falk claimed the Qatari wants to bring in Kylian Mbappe from PSG, as well as his international teammates Kingsley Coman and Eduardo Camavinga.
Of course, the France captain, who has claimed 35 goals this season, would command an enormous transfer fee, having only signed a new PSG contract last year.
PSG ‘want’ Mbappe to make Man Utd switch
Last month reports emerged claiming PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi wants to see Kylian Mbappe join United.

However, the transfer depends on Sheikh Jassim’s consortium winning the bid to buy the United from the Glazers.
According to French publication Le10Sport via Sportskeeda PSG are willing to sell Mbappe, but only if he is keen to move to Old Trafford.
Despite signing a new contract last summer, Mbappe has long been linked with a move to La Liga giants Real Madrid.
He was again tipped to move to Los Blancos in January, and subsequently forced to publicly refute the claims.

He said: "I am very happy. I have never asked to leave in January. I didn't understand why the story came out on the day of a game.
“I was as shocked as everyone. People can think I was involved but I wasn't at all, I was taking a nap.
“My entourage was at my little brother's game, all the people who take care of me weren't there, so we were flabbergasted when we found out."
