Manchester United midfielder Fred is backing new teammate Alex Telles for big things.

The pair are also Brazil teammates.

"He's a great person, I spoke to him shortly before he signed for us," Fred tells United Review.

“We had a good chat and he's a really relaxed guy, a good person and a great player. He had a superb season at Porto and has played for other clubs where he did really well.

“I'm convinced he'll add to and help the team and we'll make him very welcome here. I'll be here to help with whatever he needs, together with Bruno and the other players here who speak good Portuguese. I'm sure they'll help him too, and we'll work towards having a great season together."
