Manchester United could go head-to-head with Arsenal in the race to sign Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans this summer.

The Belgium international is about to enter the final year of his Foxes contract, and there is no indication that he could extend his stay.

Hence, he has been tipped to head for the exit door. Arsenal are deemed as long-term admirers, but could face competition from United.

United were previously interested in Tielemans, but The Times reports that their pursuit has been revived by new manager Erik ten Hag.

The Dutch tactician is aiming to add more creativity in the centre of the park, and Tielemans could be a quality acquisition in that aspect.

The Belgian did not have the best of campaigns with Leicester last term amid transfer speculation. He still contributed 10 goals and assists.

Leicester are looking for around £30m to part ways with Tielemans, but they may need to lower the valuation to attract transfer bids.
