New Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe’s social media account was hacked last night, leading to claims of a transfer to Manchester United and the forward wading in on the Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi debate.
The Frenchman’s X account was infiltrated overnight with the tweets now being deleted.
As reported by The Mirror, Mbappe posted a bunch of United-centric tweets starting with “Manchester is Red”.
He then backed a United-based social media account, stating @UTDTrey has “the best account on ft (football twitter)”.
The superstar’s account then made a fantasy transfer claim saying “I’m going to @manutd. 2028 Let’s run it up on a free transfer”.
X users were in a frenzy whilst the posts were flying out, even if it was clear they were without any substance.
The hackers then took aim at Lionel Messi, favouring Cristiano Ronaldo in the age-old debate.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest football player of all time. The midget [Lionel Messi] is NOT my goat.” read a post.
There were also some controversial tweets on several Premier League teams, including Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur alongside the ‘MBAPPE’ token recently released.
The anonymous posts were swiftly taken down but there is no word yet on who managed to hack the World Cup winner’s account.
Mbappe has been linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent years but has since made his dream switch to Real Madrid this summer.
The 25-year-old scored on his debut in the European Super Cup but has failed to register in his opening two La Liga fixtures.
United, meanwhile, have three points from their first two Premier League games and will be desperate to add to that tally against arch-rivals Liverpool on Sunday.
