Manchester United have turned to Roma midfielder Manu Kone after their Ederson deal with Atalanta collapsed. Reports say Roma want more than £45m for the France international, who has become United’s primary midfield target this summer.

United had agreed terms for Ederson but pulled out after additional medical checks, creating another recruitment setback. The switch to Kone reflects their urgent midfield need after missing Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes, though Roma’s valuation remains a major obstacle.
