Manchester United could sign one of the best midfielders in the Premier League for just £25m.
United are planning a big summer with Ajax coach Erik Ten Hag expected to take the vacant managerial post any day now. With the likes of Juan Mata and Paul Pogba leaving at the end of this season and the jury still out over the other options in midfield, it seems like that there will be big recruits arriving in the centre of the park.
One surprisingly cheap option, however, is Leicester City man, Youri Tielemans.

According to the Manchester Evening News, United have identified the Belgian as a potential man to fill the gap. Tielemans arrived at Leicester originally on loan from Monaco before signing permanently and has adapted to become a no.8 alongside James Maddison.
Tielemans could well be a cost-effective signing, too. The midfield man is approaching the end of his contract, with just one year left after this season – and if the Foxes are going to get anything for their man, Brendan Rodgers may be forced to let him leave for just £25m.

United may just pay £25m for the player's services, though it's believed that Arsenal are also interested in signing him.
