If a government truly needs constant intervention from a high court to perform basic functions (e.g timely payments, medicine procurement, fair compensation, and rational decision-making), then that suggests deeper systemic failures in the government itself...
Aston Villa can confirm that Youri Tielemans has completed a permanent transfer to Manchester United.
Having joined on a free transfer from Leicester City in 2023, Tielemans leaves Villa a UEFA Europa League winner, netting a stunning volley in the final that set Unai Emery’s side on their way to victory over Freiburg in May.
Captain of his national team at the FIFA World Cup, Tielemans was a fan favourite in claret and blue, with his stellar performances earning him both Players’ Player and Supporters’ Player of the Season awards at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
He made a total of 134 appearances for Aston Villa in all competitions, scoring ten goals.
A popular and highly-respected member of the dressing room, everyone at Aston Villa would like to thank Youri for his service to the club and wish him the very best in his future career.
Bryan Mbeumo — £150k/week.
Matheus Cunha — £180k/week.
Benjamin Šeško — £160k/week.
Andrey Santos — £75k/week.
Youri Tielemans — £200k/week.
Players who genuinely wanted to play for Manchester United and didn’t use the club to inflate their wages.
Meanwhile, Mateus Fernandes reportedly wanted £200k–£250k a week after suffering two relegations, and Sandro Tonali would’ve been pushing close to £300k a week.
For the first time in years, United are refusing to let players dictate the wage structure. That’s how a serious football club should operate.
INEOS have earned my trust.
Club briefs said at the start of the summer that Manchester United had £150M to spend on the midfield.
Tielemans + Santos = £85M.
That's roughly £65M left.
The final signing will be a ground eater like Baleba or Bouaddi.
Ronaldo just faced Spain, meanwhile someone has faced Algeria, Cape Verde and soon Egypt. It's like bro is playing Afcon whilst everyone else is playing the World Cup
