'Can't please everyone' - Kylian Mbappe says he doesn't care what critics say as Real Madrid star insists he's 'very happy' with performances in Spain despite slow start

Following the 25-year-old's switch from Paris Saint-Germain to Madrid earlier this summer, the forward has scored three goals in five games. Despite scoring in their UEFA Super Cup win over Atalanta, some have been somewhat underwhelmed by his start for Los Blancos. However, the France international has shrugged off any criticism, saying he "can't please everyone" and is "very happy" with his displays so far.

He said: "I don’t know what the critics think, I don’t notice it anymore, I come, I play, what people think is the least of my worries. We can’t please everyone. My time at Real Madrid is going very well and I’m very happy. We’ve already won a trophy. It’s getting better and better. Everything’s going well."

While Mbappe has not been as prolific as he was for PSG to date, the Frenchman is playing as a number nine - rather than in his favoured left forward role. He has only played a handful of games and a player of his pedigree is likely to bag a hatful of goals this season - especially with the players around him at Madrid.

Before former Monaco star Mbappe returns to Madrid to play for Los Blancos later this month, the Frenchman is preparing to face Italy and Belgium in the Nations League on Friday and Monday respectively.
