Ex-Man Utd Star: France Star Is Player Of The Tournament So Far

Ex-Man Utd Star: France Star Is Player Of The Tournament So Far

Ousmane Dembele and Antoine Griezmann

Former Manchester United star Patrice Evra says a certain French star has been his player of the tournament so far at the FIFA World Cup, but it's not Kylian Mbappe.

France remain one of the favourites for this year's tournament after securing top spot in Group D after defeating Australia and Denmark.

While Kylian Mbappe has deservedly grabbed the headlines in the group stages, Evra feels teammate Ousmane Dembele is the world champions' biggest threat.

"Ousmane Dembele is doing more than Mbappe. Dembele is destroying every full-back," the former France full-back said, as per the Mirror.

For me, he's the player of the tournament for France so far. I've been impressed with Antoine Griezmann. He's been a key player.

"Mbappe, I'm not surprised by him. He's breaking records, he's already on three goals.

"But Dembele is a threat every minute. Every time he's got the ball, he's been a threat. That's the player I hope stays fit, because he's France's most threatening player."

Dembele and France will be in action on Sunday evening when they take on Poland in the round of 16 clash at the Al Thumama Stadium.
