The Belgian football has become one of the largest producers of talent in recent years. Thus, for all they are known cases of Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Benteke or Fellaini. Another name to which we must take particular interest is the young Youri Tielemans.

A midfielder at the just age of 18 is playing his third season in Anderlecht in which a total of 110 matches in competitions has managed to find the net 14 times. Because of his remarkable performance and a pure talent, several European teams have knocked on his door to finalize the deal in January.

Among these are the Atletico Madrid in Spain, but neither should forget about Manchester City, Chelsea, Everton and Aston Villa, here in England.

Another who has appeared on stage is Manchester United. It’s believed that the Red Devils are ready to splash £13m for the teenage star. Thus, scouts from Old Trafford have attended Anderlecht’s game against Qarabag in Europa League, where Tielemans made an assist in the 2-1 home victory.

The English side sees young Belgian talent as the ideal replacement of a veteran midfielder Michael Carrick, who is clearly struggling this term and is on final stages of his career.

The spending power of Manchester United seems limitless. After spending huge last summer (about 250 million pounds in the signings of Anthony Martial, Memphis Depay, Matteo Darmian or Bastian Schweinsteiger), the English side seems willing to keep pulling checkbook in their quest to complete a truly competitive workforce.

As per the Daily Star United would be decided to invest about 50 million pounds (around 70 M €) to secure Chelsea long-time target, John Stones, the signing, that would make this player the most expensive defender in history.

With this sensational proposal, the Red Devils aim to break down the resistance of Everton, as they have rejected all bids received so far.
