Alex Telles admits he "didn't think twice" about leaving Man Utd amid training ground fight

Alex Telles has joined Sevilla on loan for the season and "didn't have to think twice" about making the switch from Manchester United.

The full-back was signed two years ago by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but has struggled to nail down a first-team spot with Luke Shaw the first-choice in his position. Last term he was given opportunities, making 26 appearances, but the arrival of Tyrell Malacia was always going to further hamper his minutes.

Telles was also recently involved in a bust-up with youngster Hannibal Mejbri following the defeat at Brighton and Hove Albion back in May. The pair had to be dragged apart and then boss, Ralf Rangnick, even cut training short. Erik ten Hag was aware of the confrontation and has allowed Telles to leave, with Mejbri - who is highly-rated by those at the club - expected to feature this season.
