Youri Tielemans has not ruled out leaving Aston Villa following their failure to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Tielemans was a fixture in Unai Emery's Villa side that reached the quarter-finals last season.

But Villa will be playing Europa League football next term after finishing sixth in the Premier League.

"I feel good at Villa. I feel a lot of confidence from the club and the coach," Belgium midfielder Tielemans said at a press conference ahead of the Red Devils' World Cup qualifier against Wales in Brussels.

"I was constantly at a very high level and was very involved in Villa's game. I have made progress in all areas.

"Does that make me think about a transfer? Nothing is ruled out, but I am not really thinking about that.

"I am doing well at Villa. I feel a lot of confidence from the club and the coach."

The 28-year-old added: "It has been a long and tough season, but I still feel good and am ready to play.

"In Skopje (against North Macedonia) I did not really feel the fatigue, because I was on the bench for a large part of the match."
