Manchester United have confirmed the sale of Alex Telles, who joins Al-Nassr in a permanent deal.
The left-back did not return for training along with Eric Bailly with United desperate to move the pair on. The Brazilian, who made 50, first-team appearances at Old Trafford, spent last year on loan at Sevilla.
Telles joined for an initial £13.6m on deadline day from Porto in October 2020 but was deemed surplus when Tyrell Malacia became Erik Ten Hag's first signing last summer.
