Manchester United have completed the signing of Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos from Chelsea for a transfer fee of £50m.

The 22-year-old arrives at the club after putting pen to paper on a deal that keeps him at the club until June 2031, with the option to extend for a further year.

Santos featured 43 times for Chelsea across all competitions last season and scored three goals while claiming four assists.

The Brazilians international joined the Blues from Vasco da Gama in 2023 and spent time on loan at Nottingham Forest and Chelsea’s sister club Strasbourg.

“Everything about Manchester United is special; it is an incredible feeling to join a club that some of my biggest idols have represented,” Santos told Man Utd’s official website.

“As a midfielder, I am really excited to have the opportunity to learn from Michael Carrick, he is the perfect coach to help me take the next step in my career and push to achieve my dreams.

“Everybody told me about how ambitious the club is and the amazing environment that has been created here. I know just how strong the squad is and I cannot wait to fight together to compete for the biggest trophies.”
