EPL: Man United’s new signing, Andrey Santos tells Carrick his preferred position

Manchester United's new signing, Andrey Santos, has revealed his preferred position ahead of the upcoming season. The 22-year-old, who joined the club from Chelsea in a deal worth £48 million, expressed his desire to emulate the playing style of fellow countryman Casemiro at Old Trafford. Casemiro departed from Manchester United earlier this summer after his contract expired.

Santos sees Casemiro as a legend and aims to replicate his impact on the team. He stated, "Casemiro for me, it's like a legend, you know. So now he's gone out. Now I'm here so I feel that I can do like Casemiro did in the last season and I'm here to do it." Santos prefers to play more deep, like a number six, and wants to help his teammates without the ball while also breaking lines with the ball.

Casemiro, a premier defensive midfielder, made 160 appearances for Manchester United during his four-year tenure, scoring 26 goals and providing 14 assists.
