Youri Tielemans has officially become a Manchester United player, completing a transfer worth 35 million pounds.
The Belgian midfielder gave his first extensive interview in which he detailed the process of arriving at Old Trafford and shared his emotions regarding this significant step in his career.
The move to the English giants is described by Tielemans as a dream come true. Although the transfer is formally complete, the player emphasised that the process involved a certain immediacy, given that this is the third attempt to join United. Despite previous failures, success has finally arrived, as confirmed by his candid remarks on his motivations.
Prior to joining Manchester United, Tielemans was an Aston Villa player, to whom he feels deep gratitude. He states that he is in debt to Aston Villa, acknowledging the importance of the period spent in Birmingham for his professional development. Nevertheless, he made it clear that he considers Manchester United superior to Aston Villa in terms of rank and ambition, which was a key factor in his decision.
Through the interview, Tielemans sought to balance respect for the past with enthusiasm for the future. While expressing gratitude to his former club, the focus is placed on the new challenges presented by donning the Manchester United shirt. The transfer is thus presented as a logical progression following a long-standing desire to play for one of the world's greatest clubs.
