France star Kylian Mbappé will be sticking to football after struggling to show off his old flute playing skills on US television.

The Real Madrid forward was discussing his previous attempts to learn the flute with James Corden in one of the presenter's famous car-sharing scenes for Fox Sports.

Corden then pulled out a flute from the back seat but when trying to play the instrument, Mbappé could barely make a sound.

France will hope to get a tune out of their captain at the World Cup in North America, with the 2018 champions opening their quest against Senegal on Tuesday.
