Manchester United face Manchester City this afternoon and team news is out.
One notable feature was Andre Santos on the bench – despite the absence of fellow midfielder Carlos Baleba through injury.
Santos joined United from Chelsea in the summer because he wanted to play more football. Instead, he finds himself on the bench every week, just like he did at Stamford Bridge. He has not started a game since the defeat to Hull City on the opening day of the season. He was even left out of the rotation for the midweek Champions League match against Sabah.
Santos leaves Chelsea – but ends up in the same situation
The cruel irony of it all, of course, is that Santos will now be Chelsea’s first-choice starter. The Blues have offloaded Enzo Fernandez after selling the Brazilian, with Moises Caicedo missing the start of the season through injury.
Santos is likely to start all four Premier League games for the Blues, which will be his most consistent performance in the team since joining the club.
The season is long and Santos has plenty of time to integrate into the team and be successful this year and with transfers overall. But this wasn’t the start he wanted, and he needed to work hard to earn McCarrick’s trust.
