They can't afford it because they are renewing deals for others and also have to buy additional players.
Rashford and De Gea have them by the bollocks.
It's not up to him about keeping his Qatar pay day, the World Cup has come and gone for them.
Mbappe has shown a total disregard for his paymasters with today's power play, which is essentially him telling Qatar he is prepared to cost them £200m if he doesn't get a move to Madrid.
Qatar have deep enough pockets to call his bluff and not give a fuck.
United are not in the equation for the elite.
While I appreciate the optimism, it’s no secret that when Mbappe was looking to leave a few years back, Macron intervened at Qatar’s behest to convince him to stay.
The fact that he allegedly told Qatar he wouldn’t extend months ago and he’s only releasing it now suggests the pressure is on hard yet again but he’s having none of it.
As you correctly say, it’s not about money, it’s about status and there is no fucking chance the Qataris will let Mbappe go on a free to Madrid nor will they be bullied into selling him to Madrid.
The deal with United is easy, clean and provides justifiable revenue to PSG to reinvest..
On the idea that United cant afford it, again I admire the optimism, but it feels a bit naive to believe that QAI’s first move this summer won’t be replacing TeamViewer with Qatar Airways on an enormous frontloaded deal….

They've not exactly had a good time in ParisIf the Qataris get the rags there’s only one place he’ll be going. Expect lots of shady dealings between those two clubs if it goes through. The premier league and the media will turn a blind eye to it all aswell obviously
He is orchestrating this move against PSG (Qatar), I don't reckon the elite over there will take too kindly to the rags doing this deal and causing them more embarassment.
