Carrick impressed by Andrey Santos adaptation at Manchester United

Michael Carrick expressed his admiration for the acclimatization of new signing Andrey Santos at Manchester United. The Brazilian midfielder, who joined Manchester United from Chelsea for a sum of £50 million earlier this summer, has quickly become an integral part of the team during the pre-season campaign. Carrick, speaking after the Red Devils' 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in Stockholm, lauded Santos' selflessness and his ability to play for his teammates rather than himself.

The midfielder's astute reading of the game and intelligence were also highlighted by Carrick, who noted that Santos has seamlessly integrated into the squad, as if he has been a part of Manchester United for an extended period. With Santos being young and full of potential, his contributions to the team are seen as very promising by Carrick.

The midfielder will be joining the new midfield group alongside Youri Tielemans as United aim to strengthen their squad further this summer, following the injury to Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro's move to Inter Miami.
