Man Utd handed boost as Telles tests negative for coronavirus

The Brazilian full-back has been given the all-clear for Covid-19 after a previous test for the virus came back positive

Manchester United have been handed a defensive boost after seeing Alex Telles test negative for coronavirus while away on international duty.

Media reports emanating from Brazil in the past few days suggested Telles had once again returned a positive test result for Covid-19, having previously been diagnosed with the illness at the end of October.

That was a frustrating setback for the full-back, who at that point had only recently made his United debut, which had been delayed due to an international window right after he joined from Porto for £14 million ($19m) last month.
