The Story in Brief
Youri Tielemans is still fielding questions about Belgium's 4-1 World Cup win over the United States as his Manchester United debut draws near. The midfielder told reporters from the club's training camp in Ireland that FIFA's decision to rescind Folarin Balogun's one-game suspension motivated the Belgian team before the round-of-16 match. He said the celebrations afterwards were enjoyable but acknowledged the controversy that lingered.
The 29-year-old is now focused on his fitness after missing Belgium's quarterfinal against Spain due to injury. He joined Manchester United as his third Premier League club, having previously played for Leicester City and Aston Villa.
The Indian Opinion
Tielemans is still being asked about that match, which is natural given the referee and FIFA decisions that sparked anger. But the real question is whether his body can hold up for Manchester United. He has missed long stretches before. Wednesday's friendly against Leeds United will be an early test of his fitness and readiness for a full season.
