"I'm very happy" - Manchester United loanee hints at exit next summer

Manchester United defender Alex Telles, who is on a season-long loan at Sevilla, has claimed that he is happy at the LaLiga club. However, he also said that he was undecided about his future.

Telles, 29, secured a temporary move to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium earlier this summer in search of first-team minutes. Ahead of the ongoing season, new Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag roped in Tyrell Malacia and phased the Brazilian out of his plans.

Telles, an offensive-minded full-back renowned for his set-pieces, has relished the start of his loan spell for Jorge Sampaoli's side. He has laid out two assists in 14 games in all competitions this term.

Speaking at a press conference, Telles shared his thoughts on his move to Sevilla and his future at the Old Trafford outfit.

He said (via the Daily Mail):

"I'm very happy at Sevilla. The club and the fans have given me a lot of confidence. I will give my best here and I don't know what will happen next year."

Telles also touched on the subject of being called up for international duty at the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

He added:

"I honestly don't think about whether I can get injured before the World Cup. Of course, it can happen to every player. But to get there, I have to do my best at Sevilla. Then, when the time comes to go to Qatar, we'll think about that."

Telles, who arrived at Old Trafford from Porto for €18 million in 2020, registered one goal and eight assists in 50 games for Manchester United.

Meanwhile, Luke Shaw has retained his place as the first-choice left-back under Ten Hag. He contributed an assist to Casemiro's last-ditch leveler in his team's recent 1-1 draw against Chelsea.

Malacia, on the other hand, has been utilized effectively in the UEFA Europa League matches of late. The €15 million summer signing has also racked up five Premier League starts this campaign.
