🚨 EXCL: Manchester United reach agreement with Chelsea to sign Andrey Santos. Deal for 22yo #CFC midfielder worth £48m + £2m easily achievable add-ons & 10% sell-on clause. Permission given to undergo #MUFC medical; personal terms in place @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/TY4qfwhHT4
@lauriewhitwell It really shouldn't. If anything it should make them sign 4 mids. Even with a fit ugarte and casemiro still contracted we were short. We released ericksen without a replacement. Went into last season short. How on earth we have to sell to buy now?
Manchester United needed to sign three midfielders this summer before that Manuel Ugarte injury.
Absolutely essential now. Kobbie Mainoo’s our only senior midfielder!
@PaddyKeoghAF It shouldnt though. We shouldnt be selling to buy plus that midfield was short even with ugarte and casemiro. Casemiro is gone & ugarte might be out all season. It would be negligence to not sign atleast 3 mids.
@Muppetiers United need 3 midfielders full stop. Ugartes season is over. So as it stands we only have mainoo to fill two spots. This is even before we think of rotation or injuries.
@AshtonGgmu O please. 2 months ago you guys weren't even talking about this guy. Now man utd as a football club will cease to exist if we dont give relegated west ham 85m for a 21 year old they bought for less than 40m last year?
@UtdDyl Berg probably end up the better signing. Last summer was the same, gykores, delap and watkins for whatever reason chose different teams, we got sesko. For 85m we could be getting way better than this guy. Go get baleba for that matter who was everybody's favorite last summer
