Manchester United are poised to secure their first signing of the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils are planning a big spending spree, and the prime focus could be the midfield.
United recently reached a verbal agreement to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson for £39 million. His medical will take place today.
Corriere dello Sport claim that the Brazilian’s medical has been scheduled for Sunday in New York.
Ederson was initially on holiday and planned to undergo his medical in Manchester next month.
However, the process has been sped up, with Ederson reporting for the World Cup in North America with Brazil.
He was brought in as a late replacement for the injured Wesley and was an unused substitute against Morocco.
Corriere dello Sport add that Ederson could sign the necessary paperwork after he passes his medical tests.
Man Utd poised to announce Ederson signing
Ederson was initially left out of the Brazilian World Cup squad, but received a late call-up after Wesley’s unfortunate setback.
The 26-year-old was part of the matchday squad to face Morocco, but Fabinho and Danilo were preferred over him off the bench.
Brazil have two more group matches against Haiti and Scotland.
Hopefully, Ederson will get the chance to prove his credentials before the Selecao’s likely progression to the knockout phase.
Meanwhile, United have decided to speed up his transfer with a medical examination in New York.
The Red Devils have capitalised on Ederson’s presence in the city to sort out the formalities for his switch from Atalanta.
With Brazil only due to face Haiti on June 19, United could get permission for a photoshoot and a club interview too.
It appears only a matter of time before the club formally confirm his arrival.
