Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has revealed where he plans to play Kylian Mbappe in the team this season.

Mbappe joined the European champions on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain and was unveiled at a sold out Santiago Bernabeu a couple weeks ago.

There has been a debate over who will get dropped as Mbappe's preferred position is on the left side of the attack, which is currently occupied by talisman Vinicius Junior.

However, the Los Blancos has now revealed he sees the French World Cup winner playing as the striker.

"I see [Mbappé] him playing up front, and the attack is quite wide," Ancelotti said, as per ESPN.

"The pitch is 68 meters wide, and we have to cover those 68 meters with the players in front.

"It could be Vinícius. Because if I ask you, where did Vinícius play last season, it's difficult to say. He didn't play like a [left] winger. 

"The important key to an attacking play is the mobility of the players."

The Spanish champions currently don't boast a recognised striker after Joselu completed a move to Qatari side Al-Gharafa SC.
