- Manchester United have agreed a £35m fee with Atalanta for midfielder Ederson, with an additional £4m in add-ons possible.
- Ederson, who has only one year left on his current contract, is expected to sign a four-year deal at Old Trafford, becoming Michael Carrick’s first acquisition.
- The 26-year-old Brazilian's arrival marks the initial step in United's planned midfield overhaul, with Carrick aiming for at least two new central midfielders.
- Other potential midfield targets for United include Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni and Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, though Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson is more likely to join Manchester City.
- This transfer activity follows the departure of Casemiro on a free transfer after four years, with uncertainty also surrounding the future of Manuel Ugarte.
