Man United midfielder, Youri Tielemans
Manchester United midfielder Youri Tielemans has explained his decision to leave Aston Villa, saying the Old Trafford club is a step above his former side.
Tielemans completed a £35m move to Manchester United this summer after the club triggered his release clause, finally ending a transfer saga that had previously failed to produce a deal.
The Belgium international revealed that United had considered signing him twice before, first in 2019 after his impressive loan spell at Leicester City and again in 2022.
As reported by BBC Sport on Wednesday, Tielemans was quoted as saying, “There had been two times that I spoke with the club, but it did not achieve anything,” Tielemans said.
