Former Manchester United striker, Louis Saha has warned his compatriots, Marcus Thuram and Randal Kolo Muani to be careful as they ponder on joining his former club, saying “good players struggle there”.
Thuram, who is the son of French World Cup winner, Lilian Thuram and Kolo Muani were among the substitutes Didier Deschamps introduced in the second half of their World Cup final defeat to Argentina on Sunday.
They came in for Olivier Giroud and Ousmane Dembele respectively and both players gave Le Blues a much-needed boost.
Their introduction helped the defending champions to fight their way back after going down 2-0 in the first half, as the encounter ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw after extra time.
France, however, ended up suffering a heart-breaking 4-2 defeat in the penalty shootout.
