The 21-year-old has scored one goal and secured a couple of assists in 11 appearances for the West London club this season across various competitions.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian sensation has caught the eye at times with his performances at the heart of Enzo Maresca\u2019s midfield. Hence, it is no surprise that Man United are showing interest in recruiting him next year.<\/p>\n<p>Santos is under contract at Stamford Bridge until the summer of 2030, which could make it tough for the Red Devils to land him on a cut-price deal in 2026.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_335651\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-335651\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Manchester United\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-1024x696.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-150x102.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-768x522.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-1536x1044.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-2048x1392.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-618x420.jpg 618w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-1236x840.jpg 1236w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-600x408.jpg 600w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-696x473.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-1392x946.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-1068x726.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-chelsea-carabao-cup-fourth-round-2-1920x1305.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-335651\">WOLVERHAMPTON, ENGLAND \u2013 OCTOBER 29: Andrey Santos of Chelsea celebrates scoring his team\u2019s first goal during the Carabao Cup Fourth Round match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea at Molineux on October 29, 2025 in Wolverhampton, England.

He can strike the ball with venom from long range and has got the eye to create the odd chance for his teammates up top.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian sensation is full of energy and running in the middle of the field and can even chip in by scoring the odd goal for his team. He is primarily a box-to-box midfielder but can also fill in as a defensive midfielder if asked to do so by his manager.<\/p>\n<p>Santos would add more quality and depth to <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/manchester-united\/\">Man United<\/a> boss Ruben Amorim\u2019s midfield. He has what it takes to fight for a regular starting spot at the Mancunian club. The Brazilian midfield ace might even help the Red Devils challenge for a major trophy in the future.<\/p>\n<p>At 21, the future looks quite bright for Santos as long as he continues to improve with each year. Therefore, Amorim should focus on going for a player of his potential this January or at the end of this campaign. However, the Red Devils would have to be patient with his development before they can get the best out of Santos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent report, journalist Pete O\u2019Rourke claimed that Manchester United have set their sights on Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos.
