Jose Mourinho once helped to make Frank Lampard the best goalscoring midfielder in world football, but can he repeat the trick with Jude Bellingham? Blancos legend Steve McManaman has explained to GOAL why one England international superstar faces challenges posed by team-mates Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior when it comes to emulating another Three Lions icon.

Former Real Madrid star Steve McManaman has explained to GOAL why Kylian Mbappe faces “strange” criticism despite matching the goal numbers posted by Cristiano Ronaldo through his opening two seasons at Santiago Bernabeu. The French forward has been a revelation for the Blancos, but he operates under a “win or disaster” microscope and tangible success has been in short supply.
