Rumors of Manchester United's interest in Youri Tielemans do not appear to be just a figment. The team nicknamed the Red Devils will explore the transfer of the midfielder in the winter.
Tielemans' name has actually been associated with Manchester United for a long time. The Red Devils are thrilled with his stable performance in the Leicester City midfield despite his young age.
Last summer, United were reportedly looking to sign Tielemans again. However, for one or two reasons, the transfer failed.
Reported by The Express, Manchester United are still interested in signing Tielemans. The Red Devils are said to be focused on bringing in the midfielder in the winter.
Check out the Tielemans transfer situation below.
Get Ten Hag's Blessing
According to the report, Erik Ten Hag has accepted the transfer of Tielemans. Because the manager is interested in the midfielder.
He considered Tielemans to have great talent. In addition, he has also been tested in the Premier League.
So he could quickly adapt to the Manchester United squad.
But the report claims that Manchester United will not buy Tielemans this winter. The Red Devils are said to be trying to get the midfielder to sign a pre-contract agreement.
This is because Tielemans' contract expires in the summer of 2023. So MU is reluctant to spend money to buy it.
So they will look to Tielemans to sign a pre-contract agreement so that the midfielder can move to Old Trafford for free.
Competitor
Manchester United must move quickly to secure the services of Tielemans. Because there are other EPL clubs who are interested in the midfielder.
Tielemans is currently the target of Arsenal and the Gunners are also going all-out to sign him.
