According to reports from Mirror Football, Manchester United are lining up a January bid for Chelsea and Manchester City target Youri Tielemans.
Belgium internationals have taken the Premier League by storm over the last five years and many are tipping the Anderlecht starlet to follow that trend, having claimed back-to-back Young Player of the Year awards in the Jupiler Pro League.
Chelsea and Manchester United have already held preliminary discussions with the midfielder’s representatives, according to reports from October, whilst Premier League rivals Manchester City are also known admirers.

But it appears the Red Devils could be about to accelerate their interest in the 18-year-old, who has netted four times in 22 appearances across all competitions this season, as we approach the January transfer window.
Citing The Daily Star, Mirror Football claim United are lining up a move for Tielemans after scouts watched him in action during Anderlecht’s Europa League clash with Qarabag on Thursday night.
The British tabloid rate the prodigious midfielder at around the £30million mark – but any bid from Old Trafford is likely to be rivaled by Chelsea and City.
