Alex Telles, who is with Manchester United is said to be closing in on a loan move to Sevilla.

International tabloids have it that the defender has been stifled since the arrival of Erik ten Hag's first signing, Tyrell Malacia.

With the former Feyenoord man vying with Luke Shaw for the left-back slot, Telles spent much of pre-season playing in central defence.

However, that will not continue into this Premier League campaign after Lisandro Martinez signed from Ajax.

If Telles does not get a move, he risks his World Cup place.

The 29-year-old was recalled to the Brazil squad in January after a 14-month absence.

Telles joined United in 2020, signing for 15m euros (£13.6m) from Porto.
