Man United transfer news: Manchester City pose competition to Manchester United for £40 million star

Man United transfer news: Manchester City vying against Manchester United for £40 million star Youri Tielemans as David Silva replacement.

Manchester City have already structured their squad considering the long-term benefits and probably wants to add more young firepower into their squad , in order to dominate Europe in the near future.

Moreover, the players who were crucial part of Manchester City’s last decade success are now slowly heading out of the club as they enter into the last phase of their career.

Thus, Pep Guardiola needs to looks for suitable replacements at the earliest. Adding further, David Silva, according to a report by the Sun, is considering a move to  a big-money offer to move to Qatar.

The 33-year-old has been massively vital to Manchester City’s back-to-back league title triumphs and is a club legend for Manchester City fans.

However, his departure will create a significant gap in midfield. Thus, according to a report by SkySports, Pep Guardiola has decided to land Youri Tielemans, who is on a loan-spell at Leicester City from Monaco.

The player has been impressive with his exhibits as he has scored 8 goals and provided 5 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions this season.

Thus, Monaco values the 22-year-old at £40 million and considering the future potential of the player the price tag seems reasonable for the Belgian International.

However, it is further reported that Manchester City’s domestic rivals Manchester United are also in the race for Tielemans as Ole Solskjaer require attacking reinforcements in his squad this summer.

With set departure of Juan Mata and Ander Herrera, there is a big void in the midfield of the Red Devils, moreover, an underwhelming sixth place finish in the Premier league is compelling Manchester United to land brighter prospects at the club.

Presently, Manchester City seems a better destination for the Belgian International but developments in negotiations are yet to be seen.
