The relationship between Youri Tielemans and Manchester United has been a topic of discussion many times over the past few years. This summer, Tielemans' joining Manchester United was a dream come true for him. United had previously taken notice of the Belgian midfielder in 2019, when he put in impressive performances during his initial loan spell at Leicester City. Then in 2022, United also looked at Tielemans while waiting for Frenkie de Jong. But this July, while Tielemans was on World Cup duty, Old Trafford decided to purchase Tielemans from Aston Villa by using his £35 million release clause.

Tielemans said, "I spoke to the club twice, but nothing happened. I was quite calm. I didn't expect much this summer. I was just focusing on my football, focusing on the World Cup and trying to do the best for my country. But you know, every summer something can happen, and obviously I knew about the clause. I have a lot of gratitude for Aston Villa. I owe it to them. It's It's a great club, and they've brought me back to my best level, and being here is a big achievement for any footballer. But it doesn't end there.

Tielemans also stressed that his partnership with Bruna Fernandes is developing. Manchester United officials saw it in Gothenburg last weekend, when they were together for just 26 minutes in a 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain. "It's really natural. He's a player who finds space easily. I just try to find him so he can move forward," he said.

Tielemans also revealed that he has played 668 matches in his career and he faced some problems when he was ruled out of Belgium's World Cup quarter-final against Spain. He said, "I feel really good. In that last match, it was an overload of a lot of games; a lot of minutes. Unfortunately, my body couldn't handle it. We played 120 minutes against Senegal, then a few days later played against the US, and three days after that we played against Spain. In the warm-up, my body shut down for some reason. I don't think I'm a player who needs any rest at all."

Tielemans is new to Manchester United, but there are some familiar faces helping him. Chief among them is Jonny Evans, his former teammate at Leicester. Tielemans said, "He was very good. He was talked about a lot, but he was very polite and hard-working. Right from the first training session you could see his touch and pace."

Tielemans said that coach Michael Carrick has clear expectations regarding his role at Manchester United: "He wants me to be free on the field, trying to organize the team as best I can."

Tielemans' move is an important step for Manchester United, marking a new start for them.

What will happen next

Now, Tielemans will get the chance to establish his role at Manchester United, particularly in terms of his partnership with Bruna Fernandes. His performance in the coming matches will be one to watch out for, as United need to strengthen their squad for the World Cup 2026. If Tielemans maintains his form, he could become an important player for the club.
