According to The Guardian, Manchester United have listed Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos as a transfer target, with the player valued at around £50 million.
Reports indicate that Manchester United have identified Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos as a transfer target, with his valuation estimated to be around £50 million.
After missing out on Elliot Anderson and Matheus Fernandes, Manchester United have been forced to look at other targets as they aim to rebuild their midfield under Michael Carrick. Bournemouth's Alex Scott is also on the club's radar. The Brazilian player is currently behind Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez at Chelsea, and Chelsea also needs to raise funds by selling players to support new head coach Xabi Alonso's plans to strengthen the squad.
Andrey Santos is hoping to leave Stamford Bridge for more consistent playing time, as his path to regular appearances is blocked by the recently renewed Caicedo. Newcastle are also monitoring the situation as they seek a replacement for Tonali, who is set to join Tottenham.
Manchester United will return to the Champions League this season and have identified the midfield as the area most in need of investment. The club has already agreed a deal with Atalanta for the signing of Ederson, for a transfer fee of approximately £35 million, but this has been delayed due to the player's temporary call-up for the World Cup.
With Casemiro's departure and Ugarte's knee ligament injury sustained in Uruguay's match against Spain, the team's midfield depth is clearly insufficient.
Santos, 22, joined Chelsea from Vasco da Gama in 2023 for £18 million, and has since been loaned to Nottingham Forest and Strasbourg. He made 27 appearances in the Premier League last season, scoring 1 goal. He has played 6 times for the Brazilian national team, but was not included in Carlo Ancelotti's World Cup squad.

Is like this management doesn't know what they are doing and they need some senses, what should we do with Santos when other clubs are rebuilding their club with top players? first team players precisely. I thought they mentioned Tchouameni and Alex scott recently or was that a rumour? Not that we do not have a young player from the academy who can play better than Santos but bcos he's loaned out and now, that he's back, we should give him the chance to showcase his talent rather than signing Santos with £50m from Chelsea.

They're controlling the coach too much. And that will be Carrick's end.
