Manchester United are reportedly closing in on the transfer of Porto left-back Alex Telles.
According to Portuguese outlet Correio da Manha, Porto are ‘very close’ to selling the Brazilian defender to Man Utd, though the final terms of the fee are yet to be agreed.

It does state in the report, however, that Telles himself has agreed personal terms on a contract to move to Old Trafford, so that’s one obstacle out of the way for the Red Devils.
United fans will hope that a deal can be struck for Telles, with an upgrade on Luke Shaw surely needed in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
Telles has shown plenty of promise in his time at Porto, and looks ready to make the step up to a bigger club and more competitive league.
It’s been a quiet summer for United so far, with only Donny van de Beek coming in so far.
Telles would be a fine second signing who could be just as important to improving MUFC’s fortunes for the campaign ahead.
Tired of words.we want action
Play back 3 of Shaw,Maguire and Baily and add cb and a winger
we need more players, like two or three in this shortest time remaining
telles will be a good addition to our team
Ed woodward is the utd prob
I’m tired of earring that man utd is about to sign any player.I would prefer earring done deals for centre and left back inorder to compete for the champions league.
Getting very tired of hearing deals are close but no action comes of it. As a Man united supporter from South Africa, I feel that we are now lagging miles behind the likes of `pool & City. Come on Woodward, you are putting Ole under the bus man!
I am tired of hearing of potential transfers for the last two months. We badly need and left back another central defender a right wing and a bona fide centre forward. Other teams have made several amazing additions we have made only one so far. Time is running out and prices will be higher. It takes Man U so long to close a deal that other teams swoop in and beat us to the player.
let bosses of man u get serious because man u is a team which is good but admin
