Alex Telles says Man Utd have the strength and quality in the squad to cope with fixture congestion

Contributing to the cause is exactly what Telles is looking forward to doing whenever he gets his chance. Luke Shaw has been in top form of late, but the Brazilian insists he will continue to give his all to the team every day in training and he’s determined to help make this season a memorable one for the Reds.

“I’m really happy to have played at such big clubs that have always been competing for and winning trophies; everywhere I’ve gone we’ve won trophies thank god and I hope we can do that here,” he said.

“I think the way I can contribute is to just do my best in my position day-to-day and bring what I’m doing in training into games. You have to respect the players you’re up against and do your best against them.

“I want to help the team by working hard every day in training and bring it onto the pitch and, if we can all do that, then not just individual players win but the whole team wins.”
