After a very disastrous transfer window, Manchester United finally signed some of their targets on the deadline day. Brazillian left-back Alex Telles is one of them.
Alex Telles joined Manchester United from the Portuguese side, FC Porto, in a 4-year deal. The 27-year-old joined Manchester United for $19.91 million. He is surely going to offer a great competition to Luke Shaw and Brandon Williams for the starting spot.
Alex Telles has scored 13 goals for Porto last season. He will take the No. 27 jersey at United. In an interview, he was asked about what he can offer to his new club. He said, “I like to think of myself as a very intelligent player, a set-piece specialist and I’m always looking for opportunities to create passes to score goals.”
“I’m in the best moment of my life in terms of being a versatile player, and obviously coming to play in the Premier League and playing against the opponents I have done already, and playing in a league as strong as the Premier League. I hope to be able to bring my best to the club.”
“I look at being a defender in a different way with my goals. I’m looking to create more openings wherever possible but during training, I also pay particular attention to set-piece training. Apart from the key basics of being a defender, which is obviously about defending well, I want to have extra aspects to my game so I’m a versatile player.”
“I have great beliefs in my defensive capabilities but also in my attacking ability. I’m in the best moment of my career and I believe I’ve grown a lot, and hopefully I can continue to do so.”
Alex Telles is so good from spot-kicks as well. He will surely increase the attacking ability for Manchester United along with the defensive stability.
