Louis Saha has urged Youri Tielemans to choose a move to Manchester United over Arsenal.
The midfielder is being heavily linked with a move away from Leicester City, with Brendan Rodgers having already admitted Tielemans could be on his way out of the King Power Stadium. The midfielder has been previously linked with a move to United.
Arsenal have also been touted as a possible destination. Both sides will be looking to bolster their midfield options this summer, with Erik ten Hag having identified two ideal signings already.

United are looking to wrap up a deal for Frenkie de Jong, while they are also interested in Christian Eriksen. However, Tielemans continues to be linked and could still prove to be an alternative option for United.
Former striker Saha has backed the Belgium international to choose a move to Old Trafford over the Emirates Stadium. When asked who Tielemans should pick between United and Arsenal, Saha told BonusCodeBets : “I’d have to say Man United all day.
“Tielemans has always been linked with Man United, even when he was at Anderlecht. He’s always had that connection.”
Leicester boss Rodgers has conceded the club may have to let go of the midfielder this summer. “He (Tielemans) is at an age and at a stage in his contract where he has to ensure he looks at every option,” Rodgers said back in January. “I would love it to be here at Leicester City, that is natural, but I also understand it's a very short career.
“While the player is committed, focused and professional, it's never a worry for me. With Youri you can see his joy of being here, he loves being here, but you have to respect that these guys' careers are short.
“We don’t have an endless pot of money. So there’s going to have to be something there. We can’t be frightened to say that. If the biggest clubs in the world are losing players, that’s going to happen to Leicester.”
