Manchester United have made Andrey Santos their first signing of the summer as a midfield rebuild formally gets underway with the Red Devils handing over a guaranteed £48 million ($64.3 million) to Chelsea. Another £2 million ($2.7 million) could follow in conditional add-ons.
Santos made 43 appearances for Chelsea last season across all competitions, having previously impressed during 18 months on loan at partner club Strasbourg. The Brazilian, now 22 years of age, was only a teenager when he first arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2023.
