Manchester United midfielder Youri Tielemans is expected to lose his starting position once Carlos Bacca returns from injury, according to a Manchester Evening News journalist. The Cameroonian is currently sidelined with an ankle injury sustained during pre-season. Tielemans started alongside Andrey Santos and Kobbie Mainoo in United's opening-day loss to Hull City, with Mainoo returning to the starting lineup after his World Cup participation limited his preseason time.
Bacca's £70 million transfer from Brighton and Hove Albion, including £65 million upfront, has generated expectations that he will be a key player for the team. Manchester United signed Santos for £50 million from Chelsea to increase his playing time, as he had grown frustrated with his position behind Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.
Bacca's return is anticipated around mid-to-late September, with United facing Sabah in the Champions League on Thursday followed by Manchester City on Saturday and a Carabao Cup tie against Brighton on September 16.
