🗣️ Jason Wilcox on Andrey Santos: “Andrey is an outstanding midfielder with excellent technical qualities and the ability to impact the game at both ends of the pitch. “He was a key target for us in an important position, so we are delighted that he will join Michael’s squad so early in pre-season. “Despite already having extensive experience, leadership abilities and proving his talent at the highest level, Andrey still has enormous potential to develop further, and we cannot wait to see him flourish at Manchester United.”

PLAY ONManchester United still plan to add another midfielder following the arrival of Andrey Santos, who was confirmed today on a 5+1 contract, and the impending signing of Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa. Even with Manuel Ugarte injured, and staying this summer as a result, the plan is to sign one more central midfielder.🔴

More on Andrey Santos. Understand along with Manchester United, Newcastle are also keen. Player is open to a move because he wants a starting role. Manchester United first enquired when Chelsea signed Alejandro Garnacho. Back then, Chelsea not open to a sale, but now a deal is possible if it suits all parties.🇧🇷
