Transfer: Paul Scholes raises question over Man Utd’s deal to sign Santos

Manchester United legend, Paul Scholes, has raised a question over the Red Devils’ deal to sign Andrey Santos from Chelsea.

The former England midfielder also suggested that the club’s fans are unlikely to be excited by the midfielder’s impending arrival at Old Trafford.

Man United have already reached an agreement to sign Santos this summer.

Providing his views on Man United’s deal for Santos on The Good, The Bad & The Football, Scholes said, “I don’t think there’s going to be a lot of excitement about it, is there? Put it that way.

“Why are Chelsea selling him, a 22-year-old kid?

“Who else is around now, though, who can they get? [Sandro Tonali has gone to Tottenham.

“[Bruno] Guimaraes, who is a really good player, I still don’t think he would have suited Manchester United legs-wise, but it looks like he wants to go to Arsenal.”
