This is Tuesday's United Daily Podcast. I'm your host Wayne Barton. And this is today's news and rumours. Quite a busy day for Manchester United yesterday. United announced the completion of the signing of Andre Santos for from Chelsea. The midfielder signed for a fee of £48 million, and there'll be an extra two million pound in add-ons coming along. You'll be wearing the number 17 for United. He said he told the club everything about Manchester United is special. It is an incredible feeling to join a club that some of my biggest idols have represented. As a midfielder I'm really excited to have the opportunity to learn from Michael Carrick.
How will Andre Santos contribute to United’s midfield under Michael Carrick?
He is the perfect coach to help me take the next step in my career and push to achieve my dreams. Everybody told me how ambitious the club is and the amazing involvement. That has been created here. I know just how strong the squad is and I cannot wait to fight together to compete for the biggest trophies. Jason Wilcox um said through the club. Andre is an outstanding midfielder with excellent technical qualities and the ability to impact the game at both ends of the pitch. He was a key target for us in an important position. So we are delighted that he will join Michael's squad so early. in preseason. Despite already having extensive experience, leadership quality uh abilities, proving his talent at the highest level, Andres still has enormous potential to develop further and we cannot wait to see him flourish at United.
As the news was breaking that that deal was officially complete, United were also Closing in on Yuri Tielemans, the Aston Villa midfielder, former Leicester midfielder for I think he started his career at Andelait, didn't he?
Why is Yuri Tielemans the next target for United’s midfield overhaul?
One of those Belgian wonder kids. Um not a rumour as well. This is the one it's it's getting done it. The United have activated the thirty five million pound release close in his contract. It came out of nowhere morning. And uh United have already I think they've already scheduled a Medical for him. This is a deal that's going to get done very quickly. Villa fans very unhappy about this. One of their better players, um, a key player in their midfield, um, a great player. He scored some wonderful goals, hasn't he? He's got a proper eye light reel, but just a really good passer of the ball as well.
What are the details of United’s release clause activation for Tielemans?
Um scored a stunning goal in the FA Cup final a few years ago that won it for Leicester. And yeah, he's he's United's second midfield signing. I don't know if they were calling the bluff on Edison if they move swiftly. United are officially briefing that they're not ruling out the signing of Edison and despite the breakdown in the deal over a a medical problem. United were briefing that denial to Sky Sports last week and to other media outlets, it should be said. However, it's difficult to see that one game done. I think that they're keeping the talk of the Edison deal alive because um of moving on to the third midfield target. There's a a bit of expectation it'll be Carlos Baliba, um but United have pretty much spent what they were gonna spend on Manuel Fernandez uh Mateus Fernandez, sorry, on on two midfielders.
Um one uh then with considerable Premier League experience. The other one has played in the Premier League, of course, Santos but Tielemans with a lot of years in the Premier League.
Which other midfield candidates (Manu Kone, Joe Gomez) are United considering?
So yeah, smart signing, 29 year old. Maybe at his peak at the moment, so should get at least four years and sensible fee in this in this market to be fair. Also, United have been linked to the move for Manu Kone, the Roman midfielder who have um apparently rejected an offer of forty million euros from um Atletico Madrid to sign him. United and Liverpool are also said to be interested. I think the Corney one might be a um Might be a smokescreen for the third midfielder. Is Suic United's interested at this moment to be able to operate on the deals that they do want. I I just can't see them interested in him at this moment in time. They are interested in Joe Gomez, the Wolves midfielder, another player that Liverpool have been linked with.
