Alex Telles: Manchester United announce transfer from Porto
Manchester United's transfer window hasn't quite gone to plan as the club missed out on their number one target. The Red Devils were chasing Borussia Dortmund forward Jadon Sancho for much of the transfer window.
The Bundesliga side were demanding £108million for the 20-year-old, with United reluctant to meet the asking price.
United were then linked with Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele, but United were reportedly only interested in a loan move while Barca wanted a permanent deal.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, though, has signed Donny van Beek and Alex Telles.
Van de Beek, 23, arrived in a £40million deal from Ajax and provides Solskjaer with another option in midield.
Left-back Telles joined from Porto on deadline in a £15m move, signing a four-year deal.
"To join a club with the prestige of Manchester United is a huge honour," the Brazilian said.
"You have to work hard to get to this moment in your career and now I am coming to this club, I can promise that I will give everything in my heart to be a success here.
"I won many trophies at FC Porto and I want to continue that at United.

"The manager has a clear plan and direction for this team and I can’t wait to pull on the famous shirt."
Telles is expected to compete with Luke Shaw and Brandon Williams for a starting berth at United.
Another player to Red Devils on deadline day is Edinson Cavani, who became a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.
Solskjaer will then have his squad assembled for the 2020/21 season.
