Marseille urged to go for Man Utd fullback Telles

Manchester United fullback Alex Telles is being linked with Olympique Marseille.

RMC's Kevin Diaz reports Telles is under consideration at OM as coach Jorge Sampaoli seeks a specialist left-back.

He said on After Foot: "In (Jorge) Sampaoli's system, the lane player has to be a hybrid. For now, he is playing Luan Peres as a left-back.

"But OM must recruit a real left piston. I have names. I don't know if it's achievable for (Pablo) Longoria. In one, I think of Alex Telles. He is a player that I really appreciate. He plays little in Manchester United. He might be interested in a six-month project to relaunch and play in a hot atmosphere. He has a big temper. He's a good passer. He would be an interesting player for OM.

"He is the true Brazilian flanker, who knows how to attack and defend, with an exceptional left foot."
