Manchester United\u2019s summer did not get off to the best start, with numerous top midfield targets moving to other clubs.<\/p>\n

Despite months and weeks of links to players such as Elliot Anderson, Sandro Tonali, Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni and Mateus Fernandes, none arrived at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

This was also compounded by the fact that the one player they could agree a deal for, Ederson, failed a medical and the club cancelled the deal with Atalanta.<\/p>\n

Positive week<\/h3>\n

There has been a much more positive week, though, for United as they have wrapped up the signings of Andrey Santos, Karl Darlow and Youri Tielemans.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian Santos was the first signing of the summer and has spoken of his excitement to play for the club.<\/p>\n

Luckily, fans will not have to wait too long to see the player in action, as he did not go to the World Cup and has been working in pre-season with the club since the start of this week.<\/p>\n

Footage of training<\/h3>\n

The club has also released some footage of United\u2019s new midfielder being put through his paces at Carrington.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old can be seen beaming from ear to ear whilst playing on a sun-drenched Carrington pitch.<\/p>\n

The video shows the versatile midfielder completing some passing drills and turning with the ball.<\/p>\n

Fans will be excited about United\u2019s newest recruit for numerous reasons.<\/p>\n

Santos knows the pressure of playing at a big club, having represented Chelsea in the Champions League, and he should be able to adapt much quicker to United, having regularly played in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, Santos will raise the passing quality and technical level of the midfield, alongside fellow new signing Tielemans.<\/p>\n

The Premier League website also characterises the player as \u201can effective ball winner\u201d and someone who \u201cexcels\u201d in winning ground duels.<\/p>\n
