Manchester United facing nervous wait over Alex Telles as they say he HASN'T necessarily contracted Covid again despite testing positive for a second time - with Luke Shaw already out injured

Manchester United will assess Alex Telles upon his return to England after reports in Brazil suggested the new signing has tested positive for coronavirus for a second time.

The 27-year-old was sidelined in October after contracting the virus shortly after his arrival from Porto, and missed four games as a result.

Telles' only appearance for the club came in the 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain last month in the Champions League.
