Manchester United's head coach Erik ten Hag is understood to be considering the possibility of signing Leicester City's Youri Tielemans.

United have been hot on the heels of Barcelona's Frenkie De Jong with the situation of the transfer still unknown after weeks of unconfirmed reports.

Now the Daily Mail reports that ten Hag sees Tielemans as a perfect player to partner De Jong in his new-look side. United are yet to sign any player so far but the former Ajax man understands that he needs to sign at least two midfielders following the departures of Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba.

Tielemans has only one year left on his contract at King Power and it is understood he is not interested in renewing his current deal. He was previously a target for London clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.

Spurs have however since bought Yves Bissouma from Brighton and Hove Albion and it is now highly unlikely they will still want the Belgian.

The Mirror reports that the 25-year-old could be available for around 25 million euros.
