Manchester United have announced the signing of Youri Tielemans on a £35million deal from Aston Villa.
Tielemans, 29, has moved to Old Trafford on a five-year deal after the Red Devils met his release clause. Tielemans said: “ It’s hard to describe just how proud I am to join Manchester United. Signing for such a special club feels incredible, it is the culmination of years of dedication since I first fell in love with football.
“I have had the privilege of experiencing success in the game and it has only increased my determination to achieve more. The ambition from everyone at the club is extremely clear; we are all determined to push for the biggest trophies over the coming years.”
