Atalanta star Ederson is keen to move to pastures new amid Manchester United transfer links
Manchester United are looking to bolster their squad for next season as the club aims to bounce back from a dismal Premier League campaign. The Red Devils need to address a lot of issues on the pitch if they want to get back to the good old days at M16. This is a massive task for INEOS in the summer if they want to give Ruben Amorim a fair chance at closing the gap on the club’s rivals next season.
The Salford-based club lacked control and urgency in midfield last season. With Manuel Ugarte failing to perform consistently and Kobbie Mainoo enduring a ‘stop-start’ season, Ruben Amorim was forced to play Bruno Fernandes in the midfield two alongside Casemiro. It is fair to say that Fernandes looked out of place while playing as number six, highlighting the importance of a new midfielder.
Manchester United are interested in signing Atalanta star Ederson in the summer transfer window.
Amorim wants his midfielders to control the tempo of the game, as well as, break up play while looking to win back possession. The Portuguese tactician prefers to play two holding midfielders in a 3-4-2-1 formation. So, it is important for United to sign the right profile if the Red Devils want to endure a strong domestic campaign next season.

With Christian Eriksen leaving the club on a free transfer earlier this month, United are aiming to bring in a solid replacement for next season.
As per GOAL Brazil, Man United have turned their eyes on Atalanta star Ederson. The 26-year-old has enjoyed a good stint in Italy, and the Red Devils have taken notice of that.

But, the Salford-based club is not the only one that is looking to sign the Atalanta star. The aforementioned report states that Inter Milan and Juventus are also interested in signing the 26-year-old in the summer as the Serie A giants look to bolster their squad for next season. It is also believed that Atalanta will demand a fee of around €60m for their star midfielder.

Signing Ederson might just prove to be a masterstroke if the Red Devils handle his development correctly. The Brazil international possesses great ability to read when to break-up play and start quick transitions. He prefers to get into challenges and duels, and his willingness to win the ball back is clear to see. However, it is important to note that the midfielder is not comfortable on the ball, and might concede possession frequently.
