Andrey Santos: Chelsea star’s thoughts on Man United move revealed

Andrey Santos: Chelsea star’s thoughts on Man United move revealedAfter a rampant start to the summer transfer window, Manchester United’s midfield rebuild has begun to show signs of uncertainty. A £39 million agreement for Ederson was struck at the beginning of the month, while talks were held for Mateus Fernandes as an alternative to Elliot Anderson.However, Tottenham Hotspur’s hijack of the move for Fernandes, in combination with Manchester City agreeing a club-record deal for Anderson, has left United scrambling for alternatives to fix an engine room on the verge of stalling.

Working Down The ListWith Casemiro having sealed a free transfer to Inter Miami, and the plan to sell Manuel Ugarte torpedoed by his serious knee injury, Kobbie Mainoo remains the only midfielder with a long-term future at Old Trafford.United are understood to have pivoted towards Bournemouth maestro Alex Scott as their new priority target. The Cherries are adamant the 22-year-old Guernsey native is not for sale, however, with manager Marco Rose considering him a vital part of his new side.

Aurelien Tchouameni, 26, remains the ‘dream’ target to succeed Casemiro, as he did when joining Real Madrid in 2022. There are said to be talks planned this week, but a deal feels a remote possibility as Jose Mourinho is happy for the France international to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu.Carlos Baleba is another option, though Brighton & Hove Albion’s exorbitant demands will prove as prohibitive as they did last summer.

Similarly, United admire Crystal Palace playmaker Adam Wharton, but the England international is considered too similar stylistically to Mainoo.This has led to alternatives, such as Borussia Dortmund star Felix Nmecha or Scott’s teammate at the Vitality Stadium, Tyler Adams, being explored. But Andrey Santos – Chelsea’s box-to-box dynamo – is a name now quickly rising the ranks in M16, as explained by The Peoples Personhere.
