RSC Anderlecht midfield maestro and Manchester United transfer target Youri Tielemans has addressed speculation over his future.
According to La Tribune (via Manchester Evening News), the young Belgian feels that it is too early in his career for a move the size of the sort he has been linked to, with Barcelona and Chelsea also thought to be interested in his services:
“It’s what’s best, to progress step by step,
“What Marc says, it’s good to not burn steps and to avoid ending up on the bench and not getting game time.
“It’s what’s best for every footballer, I think. I, however, don’t have a preference league wise.”
He was speaking of former Belgium manager Marc Wilmots’ words on the transfer talk, where he suggested that Youri may be better off staying at Anderlecht for now.
With Paul Pogba, Ander Herrera and Juan Mata impressing in midfield for United right now, Youri is sensible to be taking his time to ensure that he doesn’t jump to a big club just to sit on the bench – but he is a real talent and could be a huge player for a huge club in the future.
