Man United considering singing of Atalanta star

Manchester United are considering signing Ederson, a 25-year-old central midfielder of Atalanta, during the January transfer period. High energy, tactical sense, and the capacity to dictate a game have seen Ederson become an essential figure at Atalanta since he joined the club. The Brazilian midfielder signed a contract that will expire in 2027, thereby, signing him could be a protracted decision but when you consider the skills he will bring to the Old Trafford, then it makes him a fantastic target.

United’s midfield has been problematic this season due to a lot of injuries and poor form. Ederson’s strength, which can be said to be both an organizer and a progressive passer could help provide the much-needed depth and cover in the position. Numerous sources claim that the new manager, Ruben Amorim, and the board members see him as a footballer perfectly suitable for both United’s approach to the game and long-term objectives.

Although there is no bid as we speak, information reveals that Manchester United highly rates Ederson and is keenly observing his situation. Atalanta might be interested in a reasonable fee though, the Brazilian midfielder comes with a long-term contract and is a crucial asset to the team. If there is to be any potential for a deal it will all boil down to whether United can persuade Atalanta to sell the player during the middle of the season.

As can be seen, the schedule is going to be very congested in the coming period. Having a player of such quality may help them turn their season around. Some fans will be keen to determine if this interest will lead to a definite prospect in the coming weeks.

One to keep an eye on as the January window opens up is this one as Ederson’s name starts to feature more and more in transfer speculations. Signing for Old Trafford could be a key step in United’s attempt to return to the level of the league’s best clubs.
