Santos Joins United in Midfield Revival | MLS News
Description
Manchester United just pulled off a major midfield upgrade by signing Andrey Santos from Chelsea — the same number 17 he wore at Stamford Bridge, now donned at Old Trafford. A Brazilian prodigy who began his pro career at 16 with Vasco da Gama, Santos bounced back from a shaky loan at Nottingham Forest to become a key cog at Chelsea, playing over 40 games last season. His arrival marks one of United’s top 20 most expensive signings and makes him the 11th Brazilian to don the red shirt, joining legends like Fred and Antony. With a history of wearing 8, 12, and 18, Santos brings fresh energy to a rebuilding midfield — and now steps into the iconic number 17, previously worn by Andy Cole, Nani, and Alejandro Garnacho. Can he make this legendary number his own?
