Manchester United want Youri Tielemans as Pogba's replacement

Youri Tielemans in action for Leicester City

The Red Devils have renewed their interest in signing AS Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans who spent 6 months on loan at Leicester City last season and turned heads with his impressive performances.

With Paul Pogba's departure now closer to becoming a reality than ever before, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has recognized the need to make the transition a smooth one.

In 13 appearances for the Foxes last season, Tielemans scored 3 goals and assisted a further 5- which are pretty good numbers for someone who was on a loan spell in perhaps the toughest league in the world.

Manchester United have initiated negotiations with Youri Tielemans' agent and with the Belgian international not keen on returning to AS Monaco and the only other interest party Spurs cooling their interest off, United have a pretty clear road in front of them to go ahead and snatch him up.
