Manchester United have been accused of overpaying by £25 million in their pursuit of Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos, according to a report published on November 5, 2026. The deal has been labeled another disaster for the club's football director Jason Wilcox, who has faced criticism for previous transfer decisions.

The report from The Peoples Person suggests that United paid a significant premium above the player's market value to secure the signing. Details of the transfer fee and the player's contract were not disclosed in the initial report.
