Milan, 14 July (LaPresse) – Manchester United “is delighted to confirm the signing of Youri Tielemans” from Aston Villa. The Belgian midfielder has signed a contract running until June 2031. Tielemans, who has made 90 appearances for the Belgian national team, has just returned from the FIFA World Cup, where he captained his side to the quarter-finals. Last season, he recorded seven assists for Aston Villa and played a key role in their UEFA Europa League victory, scoring the opening goal in the final against SC Freiburg. Among forwards and midfielders, Tielemans had the highest number of through balls per 100 passes in the Premier League, as well as the second-highest number of key passes under pressure. Tielemans said: “It’s hard to describe just how proud I am to be joining Manchester United. Signing for such a special club is an incredible feeling; it’s the culmination of years of dedication ever since I fell in love with football.”
