Youri Tielemans Has Received Phone Call From Premier League Manager About A Move

Youri Tielemans has been rated as one of the hottest prospects in world football for quite some time now but the 19-year-old still plays his football in Belgium with Anderlecht as Premier League clubs have stalled in a bid to sign the player - until now it seems.

Former Anderlecht team-mate Lukasz Pionowski has revealed in an interview that Tielemans has been contacted by Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho over a move to Old Trafford.

In an interview with Polish publication Weszlo, Pionowski, who currently plays for Wisla Pulawy in Poland, told of how Tielemans rang him up to tell him the news:

"Youri called me up recently and said: Luke, you know who called me? Mourinho. He asked about the opportunity to move to Manchester United."

Could he be Manchester United's next signing?
