Can’t believe how young he still is, I think for the right place he’d be worth taking a punt on.
Was too early . What we should do is to sign him now rather than LC buying him and we, trying to sign him from them couple of years later.I suggested we sign this lad when he was looking to leave Monaco and got laughed out of the place. Look at it now...
He's been a good player for a while and didn't fit the Monaco system. Jardim didn't sign him and didn't want him, he's suited to Leicester's, and our game of counter attacking quick football. He would improve our midfield no doubt, he's also played Champions League consistently and never looked out of his depth.Was too early .

Indeed, I would think Tielemans is a better version of Pereira, although being 2 years younger.I was hoping Pereira would be that player, but while he has his strengths, I don't think he is ready to play for United.
Has a Rakitic vibe in him imo. Not the quickest player, but really good on the ball, can pass, spread the play and a pretty good shot to go with it.How much natural talent does he have? Is he one of those midfielders who are immensely gifted on the ball?
Hes an all rounder capable of playing in any of the 3 but best as the 8, the true central midfielder who will dictate games but also balance the midfield really well. Exactly the type we need as technically he is a very good player, but we also need to get a holding midfielder like Ruben Neves as well to sit behind him or next to him.Tielemans is a playmaker, not a defensive midfielder at all.
It's interesting that if you look at his average position he tends to play on the right of the midfield for Leicester, like how Pogba plays on the left for us. So it would be a nice balance to have those two creative/attacking midfielders either side of a DM.
He looks like a baby.Talented, but there's something I don't quite like about him. It's like he's too...soft.
Proud of you.I suggested we sign this lad when he was looking to leave Monaco and got laughed out of the place. Look at it now...
Not sure about that really. There's more to defending than just being aggressive (see Fred). Neves may be good as a DLP, but I think he'd need pairing with someone more mobile and defensively solid to compliment him that goes for Tielemans too - both of their best qualities are in attack. Unless we suddenly start playing like Barca or City (though even City have a more defensive player in Fernandinho), I'm not sure it would be ideal.Neves and Tielemans are more than capable themselves to hold it; both aggressive players, both very intelligent, both very diligent defensively. Neves is perfectly capable of being the pivot player, holding midfielder in a 3 while Tielemans has played that role in the past but is perfect for the all rounder, controlling midfielder IMO. putting them as the 2 in a 4231 or as 2 of the 3 with Pogba the 3rd mid, would definitely work IMO. Definitely a huge improvement on the ball but also in terms of energy and midfield balance.
Either way think Pogba only has 1 year max left at United so we shouldn't really plan our long term midfield around him.
Agreed. Someone like Ndombele would be great next to him.Not sure about that really. There's more to defending than just being aggressive (see Fred).

I mean, he was okay and played double the next players games in CM and 2 off the most in DM. But Monaco's formation hasnt tended to use the kind of role he plays at Leicester where he attacks from midfield. They've played 4-2-3-1 most of teh time which is 2 DMs and 1 player in the hole behind the striker. And thats not his role and Golovin plays there.He is a good player for sure, but does anyone know why it didn't really work out for him at Monaco?
I remember thinking at the time when they signed him that it would be a great move for him.
Agree, the midfield rebuild doesn't have to cost £200m if you buy the right players instead of names.Proud of you.
Him and Jordan Veretout would be quality, understated additions to United’s midfield, without costing too much.
He was generally bad and allegedly ended up not getting along with Jardim. And unlike what others suggest he wasn't used as a DM but a box to box, he was inconsistent on both sides of the ball, sometimes he showed promises just to be atrocious the next minutes, missing easy passes, not covering his area, not tracking back and things like that.He is a good player for sure, but does anyone know why it didn't really work out for him at Monaco?

Sounds like more of what we already have at United!He was generally bad and allegedly ended up not getting along with Jardim.

I wouldn't blame himHe'll probably reject us for Leicester
In all seriousness though we should be targeting this guy instead of trying to compete with City and Madrid for players as we've no chance. We are dog wankI wouldn't blame him
I agree with this, and I think Tielemans is a good young player. Get him and that kid Rice from West Ham I sayIn all seriousness though we should be targeting this guy instead of trying to compete with City and Madrid for players as we've no chance. We are dog wank
Realistic targets these and some good players.Better on the ball than Herrera, is a playmaking attributed individual, can play in the midfield. I'd take him, everyone's posting these fantasy signings how about we go back to buying what's worked in the league I'll start from defence to attack.

Going back to buying young promising players that could make the step up at bottom mid table clubs.. right out of Sir Alex’s handbook and should be the principle of all our transfers!Better on the ball than Herrera, is a playmaking attributed individual, can play in the midfield.

We'll go for him when he's 27 for 250MCould be as good as Christian eriksen in a couple of seasons. Buy now or regret later like we did with him.
