Manchester United had been linked with Youri Tielemans before. Three times in fact. But each time found an excuse not to sign him.
But this time, following his Europa League-winning campaign with Aston Villa, United have made the £35 million transfer.
So why did they make the move this time, 7 years later? And why might this be the lowest-risk purchase of the summer window?
