Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer given boost ahead of West Brom clash with left back Alex Telles available after testing negative for coronavirus

Manchester United hope to have Alex Telles available against West Brom this weekend after the Brazil defender was cleared to face Uruguay on Tuesday night following another Covid scare.

United's new £13.6million signing has missed the last five games since making his debut against Paris Saint-Germain a month ago after contracting coronavirus.

Reports in Brazil claimed that Telles had tested positive again, but he was allowed to rejoin the squad for Tuesday night's World Cup qualifier in Montevideo following a negative result.
