In today’s video we’ll be looking at why Man Utd are heavily linked with the signing of Brazilian Left-back, Alex Telles. Alex Telles spent his entire youth career at local side Juventude before he made his professional debut for the side at 19 years old, facing São Jose. He scored his first professional goal just seven months later against Cruzeiro before he made a move to Gremio in December 2012. His one season in the Brazillian top flight saw him named in the Serie A team of the year before he earned a move to Galatasaray in January 2014. After starting quickly, registering his first goal & assist in just five starts, his goal returns slowed. Impressive performances earned him a loan with an option to buy to Inter Milan in 2015. However, a red card cost him his place in the team and a permanent move to Italy, but this opened the door for Porto to replace their outgoing Brazillian left back in Alex Sandro, with Telles. After five seasons at five different clubs, Telles finally found a home in Portugal, being directly involved in 60 goals in just 127 Liga NOS appearances but where does he play? Telles is a playmaking left back. He’s got exceptional technique which is highlighted in his passing range, with the Brazillian comfortable with both short crisp passes as well as more difficult long switches. He’s very much in the mould of a Trent Alexander-Arnold or a Joshua Kimmich. A player that’s arguably too technical for a defensive role and could perhaps be more useful in midfield areas. Man United are not the only team in for the Brazilian left-back. So what’s next for Alex Telles? With his contract expiring in 2021, Porto are looking to cash in on him now rather than lose him for free in the summer. He’s been linked to a whole host of top European clubs including Chelsea, Spurs, PSG and Manchester United so expect him to move to one of the big boys. But with Chelsea and Spurs both recruiting in that area this summer, and Juan Bernat as one of PSG’s more consistent players, a move to Old Trafford seems the most likely move for the Porto man. And it’d make sense tactically, with him easily able to hold the width on the left to allow Marcus Rashford to focus on becoming one of the most dangerous goalscorers in the Premier league once again. Where do you think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side will finish in the Premier League this season? #AlexTelles #ManUnited 🐦Twitter: https://twitter.com/StatmanDave 📸Instagram: http://bit.ly/StatmanInsta 🖥See more at https://statmandave.com ________________________________________________________________________ ► Artist Attribution Music By: "After The Fall" Track Name: "Pieces (Extended Version)" • ATF LinkTree - https://linktr.ee/AftertheFall • DOWNLOAD @ https://www.chilloutmedia.com/atf License: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) - Full license here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... • Music released by: Chill Out Records @ https://goo.gl/fh3rEJ & https://www.LoFi-HipHop.com • (C) Copyright Notice: This is FREE (Royalty Free Music) that has been publicly released by Chill Out Records - No Copyright Music (Chill Out Records LLC) for use by content creators within their own YouTube and TikTok Musical.ly videos.
