Tielemans wanted by United as Pogba replacement?

Manchester United will reportedly move for Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans if Paul Pogba leaves Old Trafford in this summer's transfer window.

Pogba's future at United remains up in the air, with Real Madrid and Juventus both said to be interested in signing the 2018 World Cup winner ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.

According to The Independent, should Pogba depart then the Red Devils will make an attempt to land Tielemans from Monaco, with the Belgium international impressing on loan at Leicester City in the second half of last season.

Tielemans recently said that he was 'flattered' to be linked with a switch to Old Trafford.

The 22-year-old struck five times for Monaco in the first half of the 2018-19 campaign before contributing three goals and five assists in 13 Premier League appearances for the Foxes.

Tielemans is believed to be valued in the region of £40m by his Ligue 1 club.
