Manchester United signing set for debut as Michael Carrick handed huge boost against PSG
Youri Tielemans is expected to make his Manchester United debut against Paris Saint-Germain following his post-World Cup break. While several key players are returning to the squad, others remain sidelined due to minor illnesses.
Why it matters
High-profile player movements and squad updates are significant for sports fans and the competitive landscape of European football.
Youri Tielemans is in line to make his Manchester United debut against Paris Saint-Germain this weekend as Bruno Fernandes also returns, though Senne Lammens and Matheus Cunha will both miss out.
Tielemans joined up with Michael Carrick's squad for the first time last week after a holiday that followed Belgium 's run to the World Cup quarter-finals in North America.
The former Leicester, Monaco and Anderlecht midfielder was signed by United from Aston Villa last month for a fee of around £35million , penning a five-year contract at Old Trafford until 2031.
Tielemans was not involved in last weekend's 2-1 pre-season friendly victory over Atletico Madrid in the Snapdragon Cup at Stockholm's Strawberry Arena, but has been included in Carrick's 22-man squad heading to Gothenburg for Saturday's showdown with PSG .
