Cristiano Ronaldo will be reunited with a former Manchester United teammate at Al-Nassr next season.

Alex Telles has joined Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr on a contract until 2025, ending his short and underwhelming Manchester United stay.

Telles, 30, won the Europa League while on loan with Sevilla last season and will now be looking to help Al Nassr compete for the Saudi Pro League title alongside former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Financial details were not disclosed although media reports have placed the figure paid by the Saudi club at around £6 million.

The Saudi League continues to attract top players as the government aims to take the nation's football to a new level.

Al Nassr's first game of the new season will be a feisty one, against Steven Gerrard's Al Ettifaq on August 14.
