Manchester United are just one step away from completing their first signing of the summer transfer window.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Andrey Santos has successfully completed his medical ahead of his transfer to Man United.
The Red Devils have already struck a full agreement with Chelsea, with the deal worth an initial £48 million plus £2m in performance-related add-ons.
The Brazilian midfielder is now expected to officially put pen to paper on a five-year contract tomorrow.
He joined Chelsea from Brazilian side Vasco da Gama in January 2023 and made 43 appearances across all competitions in the 2025-26 season.
Santos already has six senior Brazil caps to his name but he was not part of their FIFA World Cup squad.
He exploded during his 18-month loan stint at Strasbourg, scoring 11 goals and providing four assists in 34 games during the 2024-25 season.
He is regarded as one of the brightest young midfield talents in the Premier League and has predominantly excelled in the number six role.
Technically gifted and exceptionally composed under pressure, he is capable of dictating the tempo from deep.
His vision and passing range allow him to break opposition lines consistently.
The Brazilian could develop into an outstanding midfield partner for Kobbie Mainoo, although improving his off-the-ball defensive positioning remains an important next step.
Ederson is expected to be the second addition to the midfield, but he is still waiting to complete his medical.
United are expected to pursue one more high-quality midfielder before the transfer window closes in an effort to complete a full rebuild of the department.
