Manchester United and Brazil left-back Alex Telles moved to Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr on Sunday.

"We have officially signed Brazilian star Alex Telles," Al-Nassr said on Twitter, adding that Telles, 30, signed a contract until 2025.

A former Galatasaray defender Telles will join his ex-teammate from Man Utd Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr. Portugal's Ronaldo, 38, moved to the Saudi Pro League in January.

He spent the 2022-23 season on loan at Spain's Sevilla to win the Europa League title.

Telles previously played for Türkiye's Galatasaray and Portugal's Porto to win local titles.

He played 50 matches for Manchester United.

This summer Al-Nassr signed Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozovic from Inter Milan, and Ivorian midfielder Seko Fofana from France's Lens.
