Belgium captain Youri Tielemans has completed his £36 million move from Aston Villa to Manchester United after signing a long-term contract with the Premier League giants.
United confirmed on Tuesday that the 29-year-old midfielder has signed a deal until June 2031, ending his successful spell at Villa Park after emerging as one of the Premier League’s most consistent midfielders.
Fresh from captaining Belgium to the quarter-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Tielemans expressed his delight at joining the 20-time English champions.
“Signing for such a special club feels incredible. It is the culmination of years of dedication since I first fell in love with football,” he said in a statement released by Manchester United.
