Santos completed a £48m move from Chelsea in the middle of July and it was anticipated he would be one of three new arrivals in midfield.
So far, he has been joined only by Youri Tielemans, but one reason for the lack of activity has been the smooth transition Santos has made and the ease with which he has adapted to life at United since leaving Chelsea.
The Brazil international has quickly established himself as a confident presence and appears undaunted by the task of replacing a legendary figure such as Casemiro.
How does Santos fit into this current Man United side?
Santos struck up a promising fluid partnership with Mason Mount during the first three pre-season games. He then displayed a different side of his game as shepherded Tyler Fletcher against PSG in Gothenburg after Mount had been replaced.
Many believe that the 22-year-old will initially partner Mount or Youri Tielemans if United don't sign an additional midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is due to return from his frustrating World Cup experience in the forthcoming week-long training camp with United also due to play Leeds United at Croke Park in their penultimate friendly before the Premier League starts.
