Man Utd fullback Telles: Porto special to me

Manchester United fullback Alex Telles says he retains a soft spot for former club Porto.

The Brazil international says Porto is his favourite club.

Telles told Wibcast: "FC Porto is a love story, it was the club I most identified with, it was four years there. I identified with the city and made many friends, it has a special place in my heart. Besides, my best career numbers were there, what made me come to Manchester United was what I did for FC Porto."

"I was very well received. I am eternally grateful to the club and of course one day I think about going back there and continuing this cycle. It was a very happy period of my life.

"The only Portuguese five-time champion is FC Porto. When Benfica could win the fifth title, we were the ones who won and it was something very celebrated."
