  "account": "Former Aston Villa scout Bryan King has suggested Youri Tielemans is already regretting his £35 million summer transfer to Manchester United. The 29-year-old Belgian midfielder made the move from Villa Park to Old Trafford after the Red Devils activated a release clause in his contract. King, speaking to Football Insider, posited that Tielemans may be feeling he made the wrong decision after a disappointing start at United. Despite enjoying a successful final season at Villa, where he scored the opening goal in the Europa League final, the midfielder has struggled in his 12 appearances for Manchester United. He has been pushed into a more advanced role at the club. King also commended Aston Villa's summer recruitment drive, stating the team is beginning to look like a strong side. He believes many players, including Tielemans, are now realizing \"one player doesn't make a football team.\"",
