United are desperate for cash to supplement their transfer budget which stands at just £120million - with £55m already spent on Mason Mount.

And the 30-year-old Brazilian has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford in recent years.

He spent the 2022-23 campaign on loan at Sevilla, where he made 38 appearances across all competitions.

And now he is expected to leave on a permanent tansfer, with Man Utd seeking a sale.

According to The Daily Mail, Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr want to sign him.

A move to the Riyadh-based club would see Telles reunite with former United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Man Utd fans are now begging the club to sell the full-back in order to raise transfer funds.

One person tweeted: "Finally they are interested in some of our deadwood."

Another added: "Sell him for some good money."

A third wrote: "Music to my ears."

Fifa have sanctioned the club over a failed payment dating back to a 2018 transfer.

Al-Nassr signed Ahmed Musa from Leicester in a deal worth £15.4million plus £1.7m in performance-related bonuses.

Musa triggered £390,000 worth of add-ons between 2018-2020 but Al-Nassr have failed to pay up.

The case was even taken to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which ruled in Leicester's favour.
