Why Tielemans signing makes sense for Man Utd

Youri Tielemans has already made his mark on English football having scored one of the great FA Cup winning goals for Leicester City. His volley set Aston Villa on their way to European glory in May too. Maybe the best is still to come for him at Manchester United.

Summer transfer windows are the stuff of wonderkids and fantasy buys, rumours to fuel the imagination. At 29 years old, with 244 Premier League appearances to his name, Tielemans is not in that category. But this is a smart signing. A triumph of common sense.
