Alex Telles insisted he would keep working hard after starring in a new role during Manchester United 's pre-season hammering of Liverpool on Tuesday.
The Brazilian was deployed at centre-back when he came on for the second-half of the clash in Bangkok. Telles is traditionally a left-back and was not played in the centre of defence at all during last year's disastrous campaign for the Red Devils.
But that has changed immediately under new boss Erik ten Tag, who did some experimenting during the second period at the Rajamangala National Stadium. The United chief had been hit by a knock to Harry Maguire ahead of the first game of his reign.
