Brazil legend sends message to Alex Telles after Manchester United defender impresses on international duty
03.02.2022 - 18:55 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
It was a night to remember for Alex Telles on Wednesday as he made his first competitive international start – and received praise from a true Brazil legend.
The Manchester United full-back got the nod as he played the full 90 minutes of Brazil’s 4-0 win over Paraguay in the South American World Cup qualifiers.
Telles was handed his opportunity after Alex Sandro was forced out, having tested positive for Covid-19, and the United defender certainly did not disappoint in his first competitive start for his country.
The 29-year-old received his call-up back to Brazil’s squad for their latest round of qualifiers for this year’s World Cup, having earned his last cap back in 2020.
And he almost managed to bag a couple of assists on his latest international outing, with Matheus Cunha heading wide from his cross during the second half before Marguinhos saw his attempt to turn home a Telles free-kick denied by a Paraguay defender.
It was a performance that showed why Telles has managed to earn a regular spot in the United line-up in recent weeks – and it even got the nod of approval from legendary Brazil full-back Roberto Carlos.
Celebrating the win on Instagram, Telles posted: “Congratulations to all for the victory. Very happy to be part of this family. Always an honour Brazil.”
And among the replies to the United defender was Carlos, who posted: “Parabens lindoooooo”, which roughly translates to “congratulations”.
Telles, along with United team-mate Fred, will now head back to England, although neither are likely to feature in Friday’s FA Cup fourth round tie against Middlesbrough.
The pair though should be back in contention for the trip to Burnley on Tuesday as United continue with their push for the Premier League’s top
