Manchester United receive clear transfer message after Leicester City claims

Manchester United have been encouraged to secure the signing of Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans this summer.

Erik ten Hag is already negotiating a move for Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong with the Red Devils having been relentlessly linked with the Dutchman. De Jong and former Brentford man Christian Eriksen have both been linked with a move to Old Trafford, with the Denmark international said to be "mulling over" a contract offer from City.

United are also moving closer to signing Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia as well as De Jong, with ten Hag beginning to put his mark on the club. The Times have reported that Tielemans is another midfielder that 'is of interest' to ten Hag, though the report adds that it is 'unclear how highly' the City playmaker features on such shortlist.

Tielemans, 25, has one year remaining on his current contract at the King Power Stadium and has been the subject of speculation this summer with Premier League rivals Arsenal targeting another midfielder. The Belgium international's future remains up in the air and it is 50/50 as to whether he will stay this summer.

Following links to City's midfield maestro, United fans have been having their sau. Here is what they have said...

Don't understand the hype around Tielemans, whenever I've watched him, he's been decent, but nothing special. Not particularly strong, pacey, energetic, or defensive minded. He can pass but loses focus at times too. I'd take him on a free though

Technically great will complement Frenkie brilliantly and we will win the midfield battles

Going from McFred to Tielemans and De Jong would be sublime

I'd take him, always liked him. I reckon £30m could tempt Leicester with him only having 12 months left on his
