Manchester United have allegedly made contact with the representatives of Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans.

The Belgium international impressed on loan at Leicester City during the second half of the campaign, contributing a total of three goals and four assists from 13 starts in the Premier League.

Tielemans's form has had a negative effect on Leicester pushing through a permanent deal, however, as a number of clubs monitor the 22-year-old's situation at Monaco.

According to Belgian journalist Kristof Terreur, United have - not for the first time - moved to open discussions with the player's representatives regarding a summer transfer.

Paul Pogba could potentially depart Old Trafford this summer, leaving the North-West giants to contemplate possible replacements for their club-record signing.

Monaco are allegedly looking for a fee in the region of £40m for Tielemans.
