Enzo Maresca has spoken warmly of Andrey Santos ahead of Manchester City's visit to Old Trafford on Sunday, describing the Brazilian midfielder as "a very good guy" and "polite, humble, hard-working." Maresca, who gave Santos his first start at Chelsea, has been an admirer since the player's loan spells proved his worth.
Santos arrived at United this summer from Chelsea and has struggled for regular minutes, appearing mostly off the bench. Maresca remains confident the midfielder will eventually deliver, though City will be focused on maintaining their unbeaten start to the season when they face Michael Carrick's side.
