The Brazil International Joined Chelsea from Vasco da Gama in January 2023 but spent much of his time away from Stamford Bridge on loan. The history, the responsibility that comes with this badge, that’s why I’m here,” Santos, 22, said in a video shared by United on social media.
Furthermore, Santos leaves the west London club after making 47 first-team appearances. United have reportedly paid an initial fee of £48 million (US$64.3 million) for Santos, with a further £2 million potentially payable in add-ons. “To be honest, since I was young, I dreamt of this moment. Chelsea's Andrey Santos is understood to have had his medical before a £48m switch and elsewhere signs are anticipated.
In addition, Santos has signified a five-year contract at Old Trafford, with the option of a further year, as United continues to strengthen their quad head of the new season. Andrey Santos was hired by Chelsea to Vasco da Gama in January 2023, by 12.5 ME, but only joined the Londoners' squad in the middle of 2025, contributing to the conquest of the World Cup, after compromises to the Rio club itself, Nottingham Forest and Strasbourg.
