In a viral video, PSG manager Luis Enrique blasted Kylian Mbappe with Michael Jordan comparison for his defensive work rate.

It was evident that Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique wanted star player Kylian Mbappe to put in more effort while he was still with the team during what must have been a stressful season for the French forward before he left for Real Madrid on a free transfer.

For many years, Mbappe was a top player for PSG, but since he hasn't yet been able to win the Champions League.

It's long been believed that Mbappe may follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who solidified their place as all-time greats by winning Europe's premier club title multiple times.

It's possible that he hasn't yet achieved the level of success that some supporters and analysts may have anticipated because of his work rate.

The France international has also been known to look up to basketball superstar Michael Jordan, but Enrique claimed he would need to play far better defense if he wanted to emulate him.

Enrique appears to have no trouble criticizing Mbappe in a private meeting from last year, which may help you understand why the 25-year-old ultimately left to take on a new challenge.

In the last year of his PSG contract, Mbappe may not have been able to meet Enrique's tactical standards, so it wasn't the simplest situation for everyone.
