Evra warns against comparing ‘Mbappe’ to disrespect Henry.

Patrice Evra believes comparing Kylian Mbappe to Thierry Henry is disrespectful. The former Manchester United left-back was interviewed on radio show Rothen S’enflamme. When he was asked about comparing Mbappe to Arsenal legend Henry.

“When you start saying (Mbappe) is the best or one of the best. I don’t think he’s even reached Jean-Pierre Papin yet,” Evra said สมัคร UFABET

“Don’t compare him to Thierry Henry. Don’t compare him to anyone. You’re making this up.

“For me, when you talk about the best players in the world, you guys, haven’t you seen Henry before? You’re comparing someone who’s not on the pedestal with someone who’s on the pedestal.”

This is not the first time Evra has criticised Mbappe. With the former France left-back previously speaking about the 25-year-old’s exit from the French team late last year.

Mbappe has been compared with Henry during his career due to his finishing ability and searing pace. The forward is just three goals behind Henry in the list of France’s all-time top scorers. And has already been told by the great man himself that he has surpassed his career. Despite the fact that Mbappe is still only 26.

Henry has leapt to Mbappe’s defence this week amid criticism of the France star since his move to Real Madrid. Yet Evra has seemingly added to Mbappe’s list of detractors by claiming the Real Madrid attacker should not be compared. With Henry and has been overhyped during his career so far.
