    Al Nassr have reportedly landed a second Manchester United star in less than 12 months – with Alex Telles set to join the Saudi side.

    Telles, who has fallen out of favour at the Red Devils, was one of the players on the chopping block this summer. The full-back had been linked with a return to Brazil, but he now looks set to become the latest star to move to the Middle East.

    According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, there’s a verbal agreement in place between the two clubs – and they're just waiting to sign documents. Romano also adds United will receive a fee for the full-back, and he won't leave on a free.

    "Hopefully few more of the deadwood shipped out," one fan tweeted. While a second added: "Anything close to what we paid for him (£15m) and this is a W!"

    "Thank god he's leaving. Another player we should never have signed. At least we're getting a fee," a third said. And another added: "What are Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr cooking!!"

    Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in January – and he's claimed that more players are now moving to the Middle East as a result of his move.

    "The Saudi league is better than MLS,” Ronaldo said when asked if he would consider a move to MLS – like his great rival Lionel Messi, who was unveiled by Inter Miami on Sunday.

    “Now all the players are coming here,” Ronaldo continued. “In one year, more top players will come to Saudi Arabia.”
