Manchester United announced the surprised signing of Youri Tielemans yesterday after triggering his £35m release clause. The captain of the Belgian national team and Aston Villa is yet another great addition to the squad with the club looking for leaders following the departure of Casemiro.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Tielemans has spoken about his happiness at making the move to Old Trafford.
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.
