However, earlier this week, Kolo Muani confessed he failed to find his place at PSG.

He told La Repubblica: “A Frenchman at PSG, especially one who cost €90m, is under immense pressure, not everyone can handle it. I couldn’t. I had opportunities, and I didn’t take them. It hurts, but I’ll say it again: that’s football, I have no regrets.”

Asked about Kolo Muani's comments, Enrique insists he always believed in the ability of the centre-forward, but couldn't find a place for him in his team last season.

Enrique said on Friday: “Normally, I always say a lot of positive things about my players.

“It’s what I feel, the signals I get from them. Kolo Muani is a great player. It’s difficult to settle at Paris Saint-Germain. I only have positive words for him, even for players who I wasn’t able to help as I would have liked.”

Since arriving in January on a straight loan, Kolo Muani has struck five goals in six Serie A appearances.
