Manchester United confirmed on July 14, 2026 that they have completed the signing of Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa for around £36m, with the 29‑year‑old signing a five‑year contract. Tielemans arrives with a strong recent CV — he captained Belgium at the 2026 World Cup, played a key role in Villa’s Europa League triumph and made over 130 appearances for the club — and said he was “proud” to join United. His composure, passing and leadership add experience to United’s midfield as they prepare for the new season and Champions League.
