Manchester United are reportedly keeping a close eye on Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans after Brendan Rodgers implied his future at the King Power Stadium may not be secure.
The Belgian has gone from strength to strength during his time with the Foxes and has been tipped for a move to United as they look to strengthen the heart of their midfield. Tielemans played the full 90 minutes as his side beat Rennes 2-0 in the first leg of their Europa Conference League last-16 clash on Thursday.
The 24-year-old has little over a year remaining on his current deal, meaning he will be available on a free transfer if fresh terms are not penned before summer 2023. As the speculation around his future grows, Rodgers said this week (via the Mirror): "He is a joy to work with and however long that is, if it is until the end of his contract or beyond that, he will give everything to the club.

“I have always said before I have no doubt with Youri with his commitment and focus. He is a wonderful guy. He is an outstanding player in his time here at the club. And he will continue to be until whenever that is."
Meanwhile, reports suggesting Sergej Milinkovic-Savic will replace Paul Pogba at Old Trafford are gathering pace. Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport (via Sport Witness) are reporting that Lazio could 'sacrifice' the Serbian in order to fund a rebuild of the club.
It has been said that Maurizio Sarri is looking to add extra bodies to his squad in the Italian capital and any money raised from sales will go into the transfer kitty this summer. Paris Saint-Germain are also among the clubs said to be interested but Milinkovic-Savic has been a name repeatedly linked with a move to Old Trafford.
