United in advanced talks to sign Tielemans
David Ornstein of The Athletic has claimed that Manchester United are in advanced talks to sign Aston Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans.
It has been said that work is ongoing to finalise a deal to bring the Belgian to Old Trafford with the 29-year-old "keen" on a move.
The move for Ederson is "off for now", he says, and one that could be revisited. Tielemans is into the final 18 months of his current deal at Villa Park and the change in tact is seen as a move after they abandoned signing the Atalanta midfielder.
It makes for an unsettling period for the Europa League holders with the same outlet reporting that Unai Emery wanted to build his midfield around Tielemans, Boubacar Kamara and Amadou Onana. The latter since suffering a serious knee injury.

Arsenal weighing up Guimaraes move after transfer twist
According to The Telegraph, Arsenal are weighing up whether to proceed in their efforts to sign Bruno Guimaraes.
The Gunners are said to have initially believed that he could move for only £50million but have been left surprised by his asking price.
Mikel Arteta's side reportedly became interested when they were told by intermediaries that he could leave St James' Park at a bargain price. However, the Magpies have taken a hardened stance.
Arsenal were said to have been encouraged by the chances of launching a £50million bid to open talks after representatives held conversations with Amanda Staveley, former co-owner of Newcastle, who said they'd be willing to offers of that nature if the Magpies failed to qualify for the Champions League. But it was never guaranteed and Staveley has since moved on.
Guimaraes has no release clause and has two years left on his deal with the option of a further year. Arsenal, it has been reported, are now weighing up whether they want to pay in excess of £50million for a player who turns 29 this year.
