Andrey Santos Is A £100M Midfielder Man United Bought For Half The Price

Manchester United have spent £50 million on Andrey Santos, but this may not be the finished version of the midfielder they have just bought. Still only 22, Santos has already developed into one of the most complete young midfielders in Europe. He can recover possession, survive under pressure, carry the ball forward and arrive inside the box, giving United the kind of midfielder their team has been missing. The agreement is reportedly worth £48 million guaranteed, with another £2 million in add-ons. In this video, we look at the journey that took Santos from Vasco da Gama to Strasbourg, Chelsea and now Old Trafford, the performances that convinced Manchester United to make their move, and why his qualities could fit perfectly into Michael Carrick’s midfield. Because United may have paid £50 million for him today, but if Andrey Santos reaches the level his talent suggests, they may have secured a future £100 million midfielder for half the price.
