Manchester United concluded their season positively under the management of Michael Carrick, securing third place in the Premier League and a spot in the Champions League for the next season. As Carrick prepares for his first summer transfer window, the club is reportedly close to finalizing a deal for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, with a verbal agreement in place for a five-year contract at a fee of £43 million. This move comes as United anticipates losing Casemiro, prompting the need for midfield reinforcements. Additionally, Scott McTominay's transfer to Napoli for £26 million has proven to be a bargain, as his performances have significantly increased his market value to £70 million, according to former Italy player Marco Materazzi.
