Youri Tielemans hasn't made his Man United debut yet after Aston Villa exit

Birmingham Mail · Steve Wollaston

Aston Villa's former Europa League winner Youri Tielemans will have to wait a little longer for his Manchester United debut following his £35m switch to Old Trafford.

United are in action in a friendly against Rosenborg, but Tielemans will not be available for selection because he is currently enjoying an extended post-World Cup vacation.

The Belgium midfielder was given extra time off to recover after featuring heavily for his national team during the 2026 tournament.

The move happened as a result of a release clause in the 29-year-old's contract, which led to a deal that Villa weren't expecting, or particularly pleased about.

It's been a turbulent period for Villa with the Tielemans exit, Lucas Digne set to join Paris Saint-Germain, and Morgan Rogers completing a British record £117 million transfer to Chelsea.
