Manchester United are interested in signing Brazil international defensive midfielder from Atalanta in the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The well-known and well-respected Italian journalist said on his YouTube channel: “And now keep an eye on English clubs.

“Manchester United, he’s in the list, not the only player, probably not the top priority, but one of the options in the list at Manchester United.

“And there is one more English club keen on Ederson.

“So, there could be movements. Atalanta want €45million. One year left on his contract.

“He’s not signing a new deal.

“And so the Ederson situation will be interesting to follow quite soon.”

Man Utd will play in the Champions League next season after interim manager Michael Carrick guaranteed their place in the top five of the Premier League table in the 2025/26 campaign.
