"The Red Devils could do with strengthening in midfield at the moment, and it seems one name on their list is Andrey Santos from their big six rivals Chelsea. That's according to a report from Football Insider, though it's not considered likely that Chelsea will sell a prospect like Santos to someone like Man Utd. The Brazilian is highly regarded after an impressive loan spell at Strasbourg, and one imagines Chelsea will be keen to make more use of him soon."
"Man United need a midfielder like Andrey Santos United could do with bringing in a long-term replacement for the ageing Casemiro in the near future, while Manuel Ugarte has not really been good enough, so could do with replacing. There would be an obvious key role for Santos in Ruben Amorim's side, and the same can't be said of his situation at Chelsea."
Manchester United are targeting Andrey Santos as a potential midfield signing to strengthen their central options. Santos impressed on loan at Strasbourg and is regarded as capable of playing regularly at the highest level. Chelsea have strong midfield competition, with Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo ahead of him, making regular game time uncertain. Chelsea are unlikely to sell Santos to a Premier League rival, limiting transfer chances. United need a long-term replacement for the aging Casemiro and have seen limited returns from Manuel Ugarte, creating a clear role for Santos at Old Trafford if a move becomes possible.
