Thomas Meunier says Edinson Cavani, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar should fear for their places in Paris Saint-Germain's attack after his two goals defeated Dijon. The Belgium right-back scored twice in the final 20 minutes, including a stoppage-time winner, as his side escaped with a 2-1 Ligue 1 victory on Saturday.

That continued a stunning season of attacking production for Meunier, who already has seven goals and seven assists for club and country in 2017-18.

Meunier played as both a striker and a winger in his early days for former side Club Brugge and after his latest goalscoring exploits, he joked that PSG's star-studded forwards should watch out. "Cavani, Mbappe and Neymar must fear for their place!" he said to Canal+ .

"I'm in good form, whether it is with the national team or with the club. I have two coaches who trust me completely and provide me with a lot of offensive freedom. It is important for me to make this offensive contribution. My past as an attacker will always be with me. Neither of the balls were supposed to be for me on the goals, but I made the most of them. I love providing offensive play. With luck and good work I am rewarded."
