Manchester United is poised to finalize the signing of midfielder Ederson from Atalanta, marking their first move in the summer transfer window and the first signing under new manager Michael Carrick. The deal is reported to be worth an initial €48 million (£42 million), with an additional €5 million (£4 million) in performance-related add-ons. Ederson, who has one year left on his contract with Atalanta, was left out of the squad for their last match of the Serie A season against Fiorentina, a decision confirmed by manager Raffaele Palladino, who noted that the player's potential transfer to a club of United's stature is a source of pride. Carrick, confirmed as United's new permanent manager on the same day, signed a two-year deal with an option for a third year. The signing of Ederson is particularly significant as it follows the departure of Casemiro, and it aligns with United's strategy to bolster their midfield, especially with Casemiro's exit and the possible sale of Manuel Ugarte. Previously, Atletico Madrid had expressed interest in Ederson but did not meet Atalanta's asking price.
