Man Utd 'make another move for Youri Tielemans' amid Leicester City transfer interest

Manchester United have reportedly made another move to try and sign Youri Tielemans.

The Red Devils have identified the 22-year-old midfielder as a transfer target and are keen to beat Leicester City to his signature.

The Belgium international impressed in the Premier League while on loan at the Foxes from Ligue 1 side Monaco last season.

Tielemans reportedly has little interest of returning to France and wants to secure a switch to the Premier League.

He was keen on signing for the Foxes, but Manchester United's continued interest in him has turned his head slightly, according to HLN.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made just one signing as Red Devils boss, bringing in Daniel James from Swansea City in a deal worth £18million.

The transfer fee was cheap compared to the likes of Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku's before it and shows the direction Solskjaer wants to go where new deals are concerned.

Whereas the likes of Jose Mourinho wanted to sign ready-made superstars, Solskjaer is attempting to sign younger, works in progress to transform into world-beaters.

Tielemans fits this bill in the same way as 21-year-old Daniel James, and could be the perfect replacement for Ander Herrera.
