Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has revealed fresh news on Man Utd. With Atalanta star Ederson now at the centre of the conversation.
Romano shares new update on Man Utd transfer rumours
**Manchester United**’s summer window has already seen plenty of action to add firepower up top. Their lively showing against Arsenal showed flashes of improvement as well. But, the narrow 1-0 defeat was also a reminder that the midfield engine still lacks balance.
That is why Man Utd have been eyeing fresh talent in the middle of the park, including Brighton’s Carlos Baleba. Romano has now confirmed that another name, Ederson of Atalanta, is firmly on their radar. The Brazilian has been hailed by Italian legend Fabio Capello as “out of this world.” It is no surprise that his performances in Serie A have caught Utd’s eye.
The problem is that Atalanta have no intention of letting him go without a big offer. Romano explained in his GIVEMESPORT newsletter that the club would only consider a bid more than his current market value. That makes any move complicated.
Kobbie Mainoo’s future remains unclear
The chase for Ederson also raises doubts closer to home. Kobbie Mainoo has been tipped as one of the brightest academy graduates in years. Yet, he was left on the bench against Arsenal by Ruben Amorim.
The Red Devils board seems ready to add more steel and creativity to their midfield. That said, Ederson would tick both boxes if a deal goes through.
Author’s Opinion
For now, the situation rests in Atalanta’s hands. Man United will have to pull off a huge bid to land the player. The transfer window still has time to run. It will be interesting to see how Utd make their moves in the last few days of the summer window.
