Manchester United are considering a move for Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.

The Daily Express says United are eyeing a 'sudden deal' for Tielemans following the injury to Donny van de Beek.

United were left light in the midfield department after the Dutch suffered a knee injury which will see him miss the remainder of the season. With Tielemans' contract set to expire in the summer, the Red Devils are exploring the possibility of landing the 25-year-old for a lower fee.

United are "now exploring a deal" for the Belgium star but are yet to launch an official bid.

Journalist Thomas Alencar, is also quoted on Twitter as saying: "The interest comes from the scouting team and the sporting director of the club. The Belgian is a possibility this month following the injury to van de Beek."
