Youri Tielemans: Man United supporters make feelings clear on new signing

Manchester United have been busy so far this summer.

Midfield rebuild

After Casemiro left the club and Manuel Ugarte suffered a serious injury during the World Cup, United have revamped their midfield.

The Red Devils have signed Andrey Santos from Chelsea, and he has impressed during pre-season. It was reported yesterday that the club was also on the cusp of sealing a deal for long-term target Carlos Baleba.

In addition, United have also signed former Aston Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans to complete their midfield rebuild.

Poll results

The Peoples Person decided to ask our readership what their thoughts were on the signing of the Europa League winner.

62% of supporters are delighted with the signing, feel he is a “fantastic signing”, and were also very impressed with his £35 million price tag.

United were able to snap up the midfielder after learning of his release clause and the player’s desire to make the move to Old Trafford.

28% of fans who took the poll thought that the Tielemans deal represented a decent signing but not top drawer.

The Belgian is significantly cheaper than Santos and Baleba if the deal goes through as expected.

At 29 years old, he also represents a departure from the typical younger players the club tends to sign since INEOS took charge of transfers.

A small minority of 4% of fans felt that the midfielder was a disappointing signing and that he does not sufficiently improve the squad.

In addition, another 4% of supporters surveyed felt that they were not sure how to assess the Tielemans deal.

Finally, just 2% of fans who voted in the poll felt that Tielemans was a “terrible deal” and just not good enough for the squad.

Tielemans will likely make his debut against Hull City on Saturday lunchtime.
