France star Kylian Mbappe ‘set to be FINED over reaction to Man of the Match award in World Cup win over Denmark’

KYLIAN MBAPPE is set to be hit with a fine after refusing to speak to the press despite winning the Match of the Match award against Denmark.

Fifa rules state a player who wins the Man of the Match award must be prepared to talk to the media after the game.

However, Mbappe refused to speak to the press after his match-winning brace against Denmark and is now likely to face action.

The Paris Saint-Germain ace also refused to speak to the press following his nation's 4-1 win over Australia.

Mbappe and the French Football Federation (FFF) were warned about the consequences of it happening a second time.

And according to the FFF will now share the incoming fine with Mbappe.

Instead of Mbappe, France captain Hugo Lloris was joined by compatriots including Matteo Guendouzi, Aurelien Tchouameni, Olivier Giroud, Ousmane Dembele, Raphael Varane and others in the press zone.

Both Mbappe and the FFF are aware of the speculation regarding Mbappe's club future.

And this could be the reason behind the 23-year-old's refusal to speak to the press in the first place.

He is said to be unhappy at PSG after being unable to have the amount of control in club decisions as he was promised when he signed his new deal.

Nevertheless, Mbappe has not allowed his off pitch drama to taint his performances on the pitch.

Mbappe has already scored three times in Qatar and netted 19 times in all competitions for PSG this season, including seven from six games in the Champions League.
