Tielemans said that learning from Michael Carrick, who himself represented the club from 2016-18, helps him as they both are midfielders.

Manchester United chase their second win of the Premier League campaign after another setback against arch-rivals Manchester City. Speaking on JioHotstar, Tielemans opened up about his decision to join Manchester United, working with Michael Carrick, and the responsibility of setting an example for the club’s younger players. “There is a lot of ambition inside this club, and a lot of quality. This is a good step for me to push on and hopefully win many titles here. Also, last season, in the second half, Manchester United went on a really good run of wins under Michael Carrick (finishing fourth after a poor start to the season). The players have always been top quality and the signings this summer have been smart too.
On joining the club, Tielemans said that it is a good step for him to “push on and hopefully win many titles”. To play alongside them is going to be really good,” he said. So, I am really looking forward to learn from him and obviously to link up with my teammates,” he said. Speaking on becoming a role model for the upcoming generation of players at the club, Tielemans said that he hopes to be someone that young kids could copy in the changing room, at the gym during their preparations.
