Reports claim Manchester United are set to land one of Europe’s brightest youngsters

The name Youri Tielemans might mean very little to you, but big things are expected of the young Belgian.

Despite being just 18, the Anderlecht youngster’s ability to pick out a pass have seen the playmaker compared to the likes of Andrea Pirlo.

Unsurprisingly, Tielemans has been turning the heads of many of Europe’s elite clubs, with Manchester United said to be looking to add to their Belgian contingent.

And if a report from Italy is anything to go by, United might have moved into pole position.

Italy’s Tutto Sport have suggested that Juventus, another club said to be in pursuit of Tielemans, are now concerned that he will end up at Old Trafford.

You can have a look at his best bits from last season below. Just keep in mind that he was just 17 at the time.
