Manchester United and Atalanta midfielder Ederson
After Brazil’s World Cup campaign ends
Manchester United have agreed a £35m deal with Atalanta for Ederson, but his late Brazil call-up means the midfielder’s medical will wait until Carlo Ancelotti’s side are knocked out of the World Cup, strengthening midfield plans.
United are still chasing midfield reinforcements after missing out on Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes. Club officials insist their recruitment strategy remains calm, with the Premier League opener still seven weeks away and more transfer window time available.
