Man United vs. Wrexham: Andrey Santos in Travelling Squad, Benjamin Sesko Absent Manchester United’s pre-season friendly against Wrexham in Helsinki has seen the inclusion of Andrey Santos in the travelling squad, marking a potential debut for the Brazilian midfielder. The 22-year-old, who joined the club on a permanent transfer from Chelsea on Monday, is set to make his first appearance in United colours. The deal, valued at up to £50 million, represents a significant investment in the squad’s midfield depth. Santos, who has been training at Carrington since his arrival, is part of a 25-man group for the match, blending experienced players with younger talent. The squad includes several senior players, though notable absences persist. Fellow new signing Youri Tielemans, along with other key figures, remains sidelined following their participation in the World Cup. Benjamin Sesko, the Slovenian striker, is not part of the travelling party, as he continues his recovery from a shin injury that kept him out of the last three games of the previous season. His absence may create opportunities for younger forwards such as Chidi Obi and Ethan Wheatley, though JJ Gabriel is notably excluded from the squad. The first-team regulars present in the squad include Harry Maguire, Bryan Mbeumo, Patrick Dorgu, Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Ayden Heaven, Mason Mount, and Joshua Zirkzee. Youngsters Harry Amass and Shea Lacey are also included, reflecting the club’s focus on integrating emerging talent. Right-back Jaydan Kamason is expected to seek a starting role, while midfielders Jacob Devaney, Dan Gore, and Jim Thwaites have joined the squad alongside Tyler and Jack Fletcher.#manchester_united #wrexham #benjamin_sesko #andrey_santos #youri_tielemans
