Manchester United have already said farewell to a number of stars this summer with Cristiano Ronaldo at the heart of a reunion at Saudi club Al-Nassr as Erik ten Hag continues to cut his cloth
Manchester United have confirmed that Alex Telles has left the club for Al-Nassr as he is reunited with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Brazilian, signed from Porto in the summer of 2020, did not figure in Erik ten Hag’s plans for the coming season. He did not report for the first day of pre-season as he pursued a move to Saudi Arabia.
His £4m switch to Al-Nassr has now been completed as he becomes the latest star to make a move to the Gulf state this summer. Telles leaves having made just 30 appearances in the Premier League before being sent out on-loan to Spanish side Sevilla last season.
It has been reported that Ronaldo was a driving force behind Al-Nassr’s move for Telles as he attempts to help the club to the Saudi league title. They went close last season but could only finish second and five points behind eventual champions Al-Ittihad.
