Manchester United Make Official Move for Youri Tielemans

Manchester United have completed the signing of central midfielder Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa for a fee of €41 million. The 29-year-old Belgian has put pen to paper on a contract that runs through June 2031. Tielemans heads to Old Trafford fresh from captaining Belgium at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where the Red Devils reached the quarterfinals. The transfer will become official once all registration formalities are finalized. Last season, Tielemans was instrumental for Aston Villa, netting twice and providing seven assists in 35 appearances. He also opened the scoring in the Europa League final as Villa defeated Freiburg to lift the trophy. "When Manchester United call, you don't think twice," Tielemans said after the move was announced.
