Steven Gerrard critiques Andrey Santos' future with Manchester United

Summary

Steven Gerrard has expressed doubts about Manchester United midfielder Andrey Santos' suitability for the team following his lack of game time since his summer transfer from Chelsea. Santos has been an unused substitute in recent matches, starting only two games. Gerrard believes Santos does not meet the standards required to compete for titles in the Premier League and Champions League, emphasizing the need for world-class midfielders at United. The situation is compounded by the strong performances of newly signed midfielders Youri Tielemans and Carlos Baleba as United seeks to strengthen their core ahead of future matchups.
