Former Aston Villa scout has claimed that Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans already regrets his £35 million summer transfer to Manchester United, describing the club as "struggling."

The scout, speaking on condition of anonymity, was quoted as saying, "One player doesn't make a football team," suggesting that Tielemans' individual quality may not be enough to turn around the team's fortunes.

Tielemans joined United in the summer transfer window for a reported £35 million fee. The 26-year-old has yet to make a significant impact as the club continues to face difficulties in the Premier League.
