"My passion for football, for the game, is really important to me out on the pitch, doing my best during a game," Telles told Inside United.

"We know how difficult games are and we feel the energy from our fans, this passion spills on to the pitch to help us when they celebrate a piece of play.

“I think it connects us to the fans and the stadium. It's definitely an important factor to win games."

The defender was asked if the manager and coaching team pass on the importance of what it means to wear the badge, given their connection to the club.

"Of course," he replied. "Of course. It's really important to know that our coaching staff have this awareness and experience within the club that they transmit to us. We know how important it is to represent Manchester United.

“How beautiful it is and the tremendous responsibility. They pass this on to us and we go out to do our best every day because of this.”
