Andrey Santos: Man United’s new star shows off skills in training video
Manchester United has signed Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos, who has begun training at the club's Carrington facility. The 22-year-old joins fellow new recruits Karl Darlow and Youri Tielemans to bolster the team's midfield options.
Why it matters
The signing represents a significant effort by Manchester United to improve their technical quality and depth in the midfield following a challenging start to their summer transfer window.
Manchester United's summer did not get off to the best start, with numerous top midfield targets moving to other clubs.
Despite months and weeks of links to players such as Elliot Anderson , Sandro Tonali , Aurélien Tchouaméni and Mateus Fernandes , none arrived at Old Trafford.
This was also compounded by the fact that the one player they could agree a deal for, Ederson , failed a medical and the club cancelled the deal with Atalanta.
There has been a much more positive week, though, for United as they have wrapped up the signings of Andrey Santos , Karl Darlow and Youri Tielemans .
The Brazilian Santos was the first signing of the summer and has spoken of his excitement to play for the club.
