Manchester United proudly announces their first signing of the summer: midfielder Andrey Santos, who joins from rivals Chelsea.
On Monday, the Red Devils secured Santos, the talented Brazil international, with a long-term contract at Old Trafford.
Under the guidance of Manager Michael Carrick, the team has shown remarkable improvement since he took charge at the beginning of the year, leading United to a commendable third-place finish in the Premier League.
As the new season approaches, Carrick aims to maintain this impressive momentum, and it appears that the Manchester club is actively pursuing another signing to further strengthen his squad.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Aston Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans is on the verge of undergoing a medical examination in anticipation of joining Manchester United.
The report indicates that the Belgian is en route to Manchester to commence the first part of his medical, as United works diligently to finalize the move.
Romano reveals that United has activated the £35 million release clause in Tielemans’ current contract with Aston Villa, which extends until the conclusion of the 2027/28 season.
Since joining Villa from Leicester City in 2023, Tielemans has made over 130 appearances, scoring ten goals and providing 25 assists, and he played a pivotal role in helping the Villans clinch the Europa League title last season.
During the recent World Cup, the 29-year-old showcased his talent by scoring twice as Belgium mounted a thrilling comeback to defeat Senegal in the last 32, before facing elimination from Spain in the quarter-finals.
Romano confirms that Tielemans has already agreed to a long-term contract with Manchester United, viewing this transition to Old Trafford as a ‘dream move.’
