Manchester United complete the signing of the most talented player in Europe, documents signed last night, medical today as Player set to be on stand to watch Brighton game tomorrow.

Manchester United has reportedly made an official bid to sign Ederson, a standout player from Atalanta, as the transfer window draws to a close, according to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla.
The club’s search for a new midfielder comes in response to Casemiro’s underwhelming performances last season. Although the Brazilian midfielder showed signs of improvement in a recent match against Fulham, Manchester United is determined to bring in a player who can eventually succeed him in the long term.
Manuel Ugarte of Paris Saint-Germain has been widely regarded as Manchester United’s primary target for this role, with ongoing discussions aimed at securing his move to Old Trafford. However, the club is also exploring other options in case the Ugarte deal does not materialize, with Ederson being one of them.
Pedulla reveals that Manchester United recently engaged in talks with Atalanta, partly to finalize details from Rasmus Hojlund’s transfer last summer. During these negotiations, United reportedly offered £42 million (€50 million) for Ederson.
Manchester United has been monitoring Ederson for several years and holds him in high regard, which motivated their attempt to sign him. Despite this, Atalanta has turned down the offer, unwilling to part with one of their key players so late in the transfer window.
Ederson is known for his strong defensive midfield capabilities, excelling in breaking up opposition attacks while also being adept with the ball, often pushing forward past defenders. He played a crucial role in Atalanta’s Europa League victory last season, which marked their first major trophy in six decades.
While Ederson could have been a valuable addition to Manchester United, the club’s focus remains on acquiring Ugarte before the transfer window shuts. Moreover, United has already invested over £130 million this summer in players like Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, and Leny Yoro. As the deadline approaches, it remains uncertain how much more they are willing to spend.
