Manchester United have reportedly made an enquiry for the Chelsea midfielder Andréy Santos.
Chelsea are hoping to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United and the Red Devils have held discussions for Santos during talks about Garnacho. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can convince Chelsea to let the player leave.
According to Ben Jacobs via GMS, Chelsea do not want to sanction his departure yet. The Brazilian international is highly rated at the club and he could develop into a key player for the Blues in future. He was on loan at Strasbourg last season and he was quite impressive for them.

Manchester United are hoping to add more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and it is not surprising that they are exploring their options. They have been linked with players like Adam Wharton and Carlos Baleba as well.
West Ham wanted to sign Santos a few days ago.

Santos could be a solid long-term acquisition for them. They have done well in grooming talented young players over the years and they could help him reach his potential as well.
