Manchester United 'open talks with Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans'

Manchester United have reportedly joined Manchester City in beginning discussions with Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans.

The Belgium international is a player in demand after starring for Leicester City during his short Premier League loan spell in the second half of this season.

Tielemans was directly involved in seven goals in 13 top-flight appearances for Leicester, leading to rumoured interest from the likes of Man United, Man City and the Foxes themselves.

Belgian journalist Kristof Terreur has told Sky Sports News that United, like rivals City, are already in talks with the 22-year-old's representatives.

Tottenham Hotspur are also rumoured to be in the running to sign Tielemans, meanwhile, with Monaco happy to sell to the highest bidder.
