Talk of the Devils: The Athletic FC's Manchester United show · Man United adapt their midfield plan · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

I don't think he's necessarily going to be someone who's going to be on a lot of highlight rules for Manchester United next season. matched

But given a good playing environment, working alongside players like Bruno Fernandes, I think there is something there that can be honed into a decent defensive midfielder. matched

Liam, I've been in a tactics truck last week looking at his games and he comes across as tidy to me. matched

Nice passes, doesn't always gamble. matched

What was your take of him last season? matched

It was good. matched

It was encouraging. matched

Most of the time when I'm talking to Chelsea fans, including Liam, they talk about balance. matched

They talk about the fact that Andre Santos is relatively unselfish. matched

And if you look at that Chelsea midfield that for a while has been trying to get Enzo Fernandes and Caicedo to fit, Santos has been a good dance partner for Caicedo to get more of his game off and for Enzo Fernandes to be more of that box crashing position. matched

Young player. matched

Things didn't quite go to pass after some positive times under Lima Arsenio, but then obviously his career hit the skids a little bit towards the end of Arsenio's time. matched

So this is a good player who will need some encouragement to get better. matched

And I think he probably needs... matched

a better dance partner at Manchester United than the players currently here. matched

And this is where you go back to what Laurie said. matched

And I can't tell you if this is good or bad signing until the transfer window is shut. matched

And I know the player that Andre Santos is most likely to play next to. matched

I think the difference between Chelsea playing next season with no European football and Manchester United playing next season with Champions League football as well is also going to be beneficial for a player like Andre Santos. matched

Maybe he doesn't start Premier League games, but maybe he can have a really good input in the Champions League league phase. matched
