Alex Telles was linked with a move to Manchester United over the weekend, with The Mirror among various outlets to report interest.
Fabrizio Romano It had also stated: “Man Utd is monitoring and considering an opening offer.”
Porto are in a weak position over Telles because the left-back only has one year left on his contract.
Telles showed over the weekend exactly why United are interested in him when he stepped up to lead Porto to victory.
Telles scored two penalties and Porto beat Braga 3-1 at home, providing an impressive assist for Sergio Oliveira’s first header goal.
The cross on the left back was perfect, showing an element of creativity that Luke Shaw lacks.
This center was one of four opportunities Telles created during the victory in a man of the match display.
Perfectly timed
Telles proved that he can offer an attacking outlet that Luke Shaw does not offer for Manchester United.
Shaw didn’t create a single opportunity in United’s 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace. This is not uncommon.
Telles would bring a new dimension to United if the Red Devils can do something.
Last season Telles provided a total of eight assists in the Primeira Liga and 12 in all competitions.
The Telegraph reported this weekend that United are in talks to sign the Brazilian.
The Portuguese newspaper A Bola claims that Porto would accept a fee of £ 18.5 million for the defender.
The MEN reported that Porto coach Sergio Conceicao said he would accept the sale of Telles, as long as the club signs a replacement.
