Manchester United has signed Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos in a £48 million transfer.
Santos expressed enthusiasm about joining the club, citing the opportunity to learn from former player Michael Carrick and to play alongside some of his football idols.
Club officials highlighted Santos’s technical skill and his potential to contribute at both defensive and attacking phases.
United’s director of football noted that Santos was a key target and that the club is eager to see him develop further during the pre‑season.
The transfer follows United’s decision to drop plans for a move to bring in compatriot Ederson from Atalanta.
After the deal, Santos will begin training with the squad ahead of the upcoming season, where he is expected to compete for a regular spot in midfield.
