Man Utd coach Evans helped seal £35m Tielemans deal
Manchester United coach Jonny Evans gave the club's approach for Youri Tielemans his seal of approval. The pair were team-mates at Leicester for four years, from 2019, and were part of the Foxes' 2020 FA Cup-winning side. Both players left King Power Stadium in 2023, Evans for United and Tielemans for Aston Villa.
Is Tielemans a risk?
The initial reaction in Manchester United circles to news of Youri Tielemans' impending arrival was positive. A former team-mate of current first-team coach Jonny Evans, Tielemans is noted for scoring Leicester City's winner in the 2021 FA Cup final and for Aston Villa in their Europa League final triumph over Freiburg in May. "Well done to the recruitment team because £35m for him is a phenomenal signing," said former midfielder Nicky Butt as he discussed the Belgian's potential impact with ex-United team-mate Paul Scholes on The Good, The Bad And The Football podcast.

Youri Tielemans has already made his mark on English football having scored one of the great FA Cup winning goals for Leicester City. His volley set Aston Villa on their way to European glory in May too. Maybe the best is still to come for him at Manchester United.
