Manchester United 'block Jose Mourinho's Roma from signing Alex Telles on loan as Red Devils want to sell back-up left-back permanently' in blow to iconic Portuguese manager who is looking for Leonardo Spinazzola cover

Manchester United have blocked Jose Mourinho and Roma from signing left-back Alex Telles on loan this season, according to reports.

Telles moved to Old Trafford from Porto for a £15million fee last summer but was limited to just nine Premier League appearances due to excellent displays from England international Luke Shaw.

Mourinho, meanwhile, is looking for a temporary option at left-back at Roma after Italy star Leonardo Spinazzola picked up an anterior cruciate ligament injury during Euro 2020 and will be sidelined for several months.
