Man United want to sign 22-year-old if Paul Pogba leaves – report
Manchester United want to sign Youri Tielemans if Paul Pogba leaves Old Trafford in the summer transfer window, according to a report in England.
The Independent is reporting that Pogba’s future at Manchester United is far from certain as the World Cup winner grows increasingly disillusioned at Old Trafford.
The same article states that La Liga giants Real Madrid and Serie A champions Juventus are both interested in the France international ahead of the start of the 2019-20 season.
According to the same story, Manchester United are considering Tielemans as a replacement after the AS Monaco midfielder impressed during his loan stint at Leicester.
The report goes on to add that Tielemans wouldn’t be Manchester United’s first choice to replace Pogba but the Belgium international is a legitimate option.
Tielemans impressed during the second half of the 2018-19 season at Leicester after a return of three goals in 12 appearances in the Premier League.
The defensive midfielder moved to AS Monaco from Anderlecht in the 2017 summer transfer window after progressing through the youth ranks at the Belgian club.
Manchester United signed Pogba in an £89m deal from Juventus in 2016 to set a new transfer record for the 20-time English champions.
However, Pogba hasn’t won the Premier League or the Champions League at Man United since his return to the club.
