Youri Tielemans: Manchester United in talks to sign Aston Villa and Belgium midfielder

Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa for a fee in the region of £36m.

Discussions are advancing quickly after Belgium's exit from the World Cup.

Tielemans, 29, has been at Villa since 2023, when he joined on a free transfer from Leicester, and has made 134 appearances for the club, scoring 10 times.

During that time, Villa have twice qualified for the Champions League, reached the quarter-finals in that competition and won the Europa League last season under Unai Emery, with Tielemans opening the scoring in the final against Freiburg.

Before joining Villa, Tielemans won the FA Cup and Community Shield at Leicester.
