Manchester United have completed the signing of Brazil defender Alex Telles from Porto on a four-year contract.
United are understood to have agreed a fee for £13.5million plus £1.8million in potential add-ons with the Portuguese club for the left-back.
Old Trafford chiefs are under pressure to reinforce their squad after Sunday's 6-1 home humbling by Tottenham, with free agent Edinson Cavani also expected to arrive.

Telles told his new club's website: "To join a club with the prestige of Manchester United is a huge honour.
"You have to work hard to get to this moment in your career and now I am coming to this club, I can promise that I will give everything in my heart to be a success here."
Southampton have been in contact with Everton about re-signing Theo Walcott, after the Merseyside club landed Ben Godfrey from Norwich.
With new signing James Rodriguez having made the wide-right spot his own thanks to an excellent start to his Goodison Park career, Walcott's first-team chances look like being limited.
The 31-year-old is in the final year of his contract, and while a return to Saints is thought to be his preferred choice, he has also been linked with Crystal Palace, West Ham, Fulham and Newcastle.
Norwich announced they had received a club-record fee for Godfrey, whose deal ties him to Everton until the end of June 2025.
