Kaua Santos has distanced himself from rumours that he could be set for a move to Manchester United, insisting he remains ‘entirely focused’ on Eintracht Frankfurt.
The young goalkeeper left Flamengo’s academy to join Eintracht in 2023 and went on to make his first senior appearance for the Bundesliga outfit in a 2-1 win over Wolfsburg last September.
But Santos suffered a cruciate ligament tear in Eintracht’s Europa League quarter-final second leg defeat to Tottenham and the serious knee injury brought the 22-year-old’s promising debut season to a premature end.
Now on the long road to recovery, the Brazilian is not expected to return to action until the autumn at the earliest.
But when quizzed on United’s interest in a wide-ranging interview with German newspaper Die Welt, Santos stressed that he was not even thinking about leaving Eintracht.
‘The management at Eintracht Frankfurt have shown tremendous confidence in me,’ Santos said.
‘They wanted to continue working with me before these rumours even surfaced.
‘They still have a lot of faith in me here, so it was clear to me that I decided to extend my contract [last October].
