PSG have changed their manager and sporting director this summer, but some old issues with personnel may still remain.

And an incident during a routine training drill has gotten fans talking.

Players were made to pair up on the pitch, linking hands and pulling their weights back to counterbalance each other before running off.

Mbappe, 23, appeared to be standing next to Neymar as this drill was being completed, but they didn't partner up.

Instead, the Frenchman appeared to wait for a coach, while his Brazilian counterpart stood by for Messi.

One fan account tweeted: "Neymar ignored Mbappe for Messi. Watch closely!"

Others, however, believe that it was Mbappe simply waiting for the coach, and that the drill played out as it was supposed to.

Neymar and Mbappe are entering their sixth season together in Paris.

But the 30-year-old will always seem to have a greater affinity with his former Barcelona pal Messi.

The pair played together in Spain for four years, before Neymar opted to quit for PSG.

They finally reunited 12 months ago, when Messi was forced to leave Barca due to their financial woes.

With Mbappe, the trio formed a mouthwatering attack in Paris, but it so far hasn't yielded the results they wanted.

Under former boss Mauricio Pochettino, they were able to win the Ligue 1 title last season.

But elimination in the Champions League round of 16 effectively cost the Argentine his job.

Messi, 35, was criticised for his performances during his first year in Ligue 1.

Although he did manage 11 goals and 15 assists in 34 outings.

Mbappe, meanwhile, enjoyed a stunning season - scoring 39 times and assisting a further 26 strikes in 46 appearances.

He finished the season by finally penning a new three-year contract with PSG.
