Alex Telles believes that the final four and qualification for the Champions League can be secured, laying the foundation for future progress.
A little about the topic
The Brazilian player remains confident that Man Utd’s 2021-22 class can salvage an inconsistent campaign and lay the groundwork for a new head coach to push back, with playing staff at Old Trafford ignoring suggestions that Erik ten Hag is close to taking reins of government.
Manchester United remain under Rangnick for the time being, and he is called in to bridge the gap between two permanent appointments after Solskjaer’s sacking. The Red Devils cannot afford off-field events to become a distraction in the present as they chase the top four finishes, with Champions League qualification vital to future progress once a new coaching team is in place.
What did Alex Telles say?
Man Utd have seven games left to take this season and are currently sitting seventh in the PL table, with six points drifting Tottenham and only one win secured in their last seven matches in all competitions. Alex Telles said of the rumors regarding potential management moves that he doesn’t think they are affected because they know what they should be doing.
According to Telles, there are people at the club working on a new manager – but that’s for next season. And next season depends on what they do in those remaining games, so they need to stay focused. They can’t think about who will be the next manager, they need to think about working hard in their next game.
The Brazilian defender added about the need to start correcting a few mistakes on the pitch that everyone in the dressing room is very eager to win. No player in this club has that desire. They are aware of their responsibilities – they have families, they have dreams, they have goals. According to Alex Telles they want to do the job, not talk and turn the tide.
They know the quality they have, they know what the fans and the club expect, and they have to be ready to do whatever it takes to make things better. Alex says that if he didn’t believe they could still save the season, then he shouldn’t be here. According to the Brazilian, they know what duty they have to fulfill their goals. They can’t think of games further ahead, they have the final against Norwich in front of them first.
