Alex Telles breaks silence on Manchester United transfer links

Alex Telles insists he is not distracted by reports linking him with a move to Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

MEN Sport understand United are open to signing a new left-back before the summer transfer deadline next month, with the Porto defender of some interest to the club.

Telles shone for Porto again over the weekend and scored twice from the penalty spot in their 3-1 win against Braga.

The excellent display further fuelled the suggestion he could move to Old Trafford this summer, but after the game Telles insisted his focus remains on Porto.

"I’m a guy who focuses a lot on work, people believe what they want, say what they want in the newspapers, but the most important thing is to be focused on my work," Telles told Sport TV.

"You know that and so do my teammates, whatever happens, I’m focused on the club, I’m here, I’m playing."

When further pressed on the issue Telles reiterated his commitment to Porto and refused to reveal how close he might be to an exit.

He added: "I have people who work for me, I just have to focus on what my job is.

"If I knew anything, I wouldn’t need to have people working for me. I have people who take care of that and I have to focus on my work."
