Jose Mourinho has dismissed controversy surrounding Kylian Mbappe with a blunt message, stating the "best thing is keep your mouth shut" regarding a reported row involving the French forward and an individual identified as Mao.
The Portuguese manager, currently in charge of Real Madrid, made the comment as Mbappe continues a strong individual campaign, having scored 11 league goals for the Spanish club this season.
The remarks were reported by BBC Sport journalist Craig Nelson on October 31, 2026.
