Porto are reportedly not interested in re-signing Alex Telles from Manchester United this summer.

Telles has allegedly been made surplus to requirements at Old Trafford in the current market following the arrival of Tyrell Malacia, who is set to provide competition for Luke Shaw at left-back in the new season.

There have been claims that Porto could attempt to re-sign the Brazil international, but according to Portuguese journalist Pedro Sepulveda, the Portuguese giants are not currently interested in a move.

The 29-year-old made 195 appearances for Porto between 2016 and 2020 before arriving at Man United in 2020.

Telles has featured on 50 occasions for the 20-time English champions and finished last season as the club's first-choice left-back due to Shaw's injury problems.

Meanwhile, Zidane Iqbal is reportedly set to stay at Man United this summer despite suggestions that the midfielder would leave the club on loan for the 2022-23 campaign.

The 19-year-old made his debut for the Red Devils in the Champions League clash with Young Boys last December, and he travelled on the club's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.

Iqbal made a positive impression during his appearances off the bench, and according to the Daily Mail, Man United boss Erik ten Hag now wants to keep him at the club for the new season.

The report claims that Ten Hag views the teenager as a player capable of contributing for the first team during the 2022-23 campaign.

Iqbal, who has been with Man United since the age of nine, has featured on two occasions for Iran.

Elsewhere, Manchester City are reportedly prepared to loan James McAtee out for the 2022-23 campaign.

The 19-year-old is believed to be on the radar of the likes of Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and Villarreal during the current transfer window.

According to the Daily Mail, Man City are willing to let the attacking midfielder leave this summer, but they would want assurances that he would be receiving regular action.

McAtee, who has been with the Citizens since 2013, featured on six occasions for Pep Guardiola's side last season, including two outings in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, former Arsenal forward Paul Merson has urged Man United to sell Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.

Ronaldo is believed to be pushing to leave the 20-time English champions in the current market due to his desperation to continue playing in the Champions League.

The Red Devils have thus far resisted the Portugal international's exit, but Merson has said that Erik ten Hag's side should move him on if they want to challenge for major silverware.

"Ronaldo has told you what he wants, so why hang onto him? Man United have got to draw the line and get rid of him if they really want to catch Man City and Liverpool," Merson wrote in his column for Daily Star.

"If they can make him out to be the bad one, I think they've had a result. In all honestly, I don't think he does them any favours anyway. People say he got 24 goals last season but Man United never looked like winning anything.

"It's alright him doing that but it's like a snooker player making 147s every game but never winning a tournament."

Ronaldo was not involved in Man United's pre-season friendly with Atletico Madrid on Saturday but is expected to feature against Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford on Sunday. body check tags ::
