Twitter reacts to Manchester United's deadline day capture of Brazilian star Alex Telles

Manchester United have completed the signing of Porto left-back Alex Telles for a fee in the region of €15 million. The Brazilian is Manchester United's second signing of the season after Donny van de Beek, who joined from Ajax earlier this summer.

Telles has been linked with a move to United since they missed out on Sergio Reguilon, who joined Tottenham Hotspur from Real Madrid last month. The left-back is known for his attacking output and scored 13 goals provided 10 assists last season in Liga NOS in just 34 games, numbers unheard of for a left-back.

Manchester United are also close to completing the signing of Edinson Cavani on a free-transfer. The Red Devils have started the season poorly, losing 1-6 to Tottenham in the Premier League and will hope the new signings can turn around their fortune after the international break.

Manchester United look set to complete double swoop for Telles and Cavani on deadline day

Telles, speaking after signing for the club, said he was delighted to be joining a club like Manchester United.

"You have to work hard to get to this moment in your career and now I am coming to this club, I can promise that I will give everything in my heart to be a success here."

"I won many trophies at FC Porto and I want to continue that at United. The manager has a clear plan and direction for this team and I can’t wait to pull on the famous shirt.”

All I know about that Alex telles United have signed is that I needed Porto in a bet once for 400 large and he belted a 45 yarder in top bin with 30secs to go. For that reason alone,he’s my hero

Alex Telles to Manchester United is the first signing in this window that I’m actually jealous of.Don’t get me wrong, Chilwell is amazing, but Telles is even better.Class signing! 🤝

Alex Telles averaged 0.43 non-penalty G+A p90 last season, the third best rate of any Porto player to play 2,000+ minutes. Overall, his 0.71 G+A p90 was the best among those players.A seriously attacking full-back. 🇵🇹 https://t.co/7mbk3KJYrZ

🥴 Luke Shaw has played a direct hand in 7 goals in 99 league games for Man Utd😵 Alex Telles has scored or assisted 23 goals in 34 league games since the start of last season alone 🔢 At Shaw's current rate he needs another 226 games to equal that record. More on Telles 👇

No idea how Telles is going to do. If he realises a left-back is generally meant to play on the left then I guess that’s progress

— Nick (@ManUnitedYouth) October 5, 2020

Telles done. Pellistri and Traore not done but both v advanced. Dembele not looking on at all at moment. Nor are Messi or De Bruyne. pic.twitter.com/4oDhzNmftC

Alex Telles is #mufc's first left-back signing since Luke Shaw in 2014. Rivals have signed significantly younger left-backs (Robertson, Mendy, Chilwell and Reguilon were all 23 at time of moves, Tierney 22) in recent years. Telles turns 28 in December.

OGS on Telles: "Player we have been tracking for some time. Performances over past few years are exactly what we are looking for. He is a fighter + winner + will add determination + competition to the squad. Alex has the qualities, as a player + person, we want here @ManUtd."

— Simon Stone (@sistoney67) October 5, 2020

Confirmed. Alex Telles to @ManUtd. 4-year-deal + option of further year. "To join a club with the prestige of Man Utd is huge honour. You have to work hard to get to this moment in your career. I can promise that I will give everything in my heart to be a success."
