“Someone remind Mbappe that at 22 years old, Messi had four Ballon d’Ors” - Wayne Rooney slams PSG superstar with ‘ego’ claim
Wayne Rooney has hit out at PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe for his attitude towards Lionel Messi.
The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner appeared unimpressed as Mbappe appeared to needlessly shoulder barge him during their team's 5-2 win over Montpellier last weekend.
GOAL reported this week that the French international is unhappy that Neymar and Messi have formed a close bond, which has left the 23-year-old with less of a voice in the PSG dressing room.
This has prompted Rooney to hit out at the ego of the World Cup winner, who signed a mega new contract over the summer to stay at the Parc des Princes.
Manchester United's and England's all-time record scorer stated (as per journalist Roy Nemer):
"A 22-23 year old player throwing a shoulder at Messi... I have never seen a bigger ego than this in my life. Someone remind Mbappe that at 22 years old, Messi had four Ballon d'Ors."
The superstar striker appeared to be extremely unhappy when Neymar took PSG's second penalty of the game after the number seven missed his spot-kick earlier in the clash.
