Manchester United is seeking to strengthen its midfield during the upcoming summer transfer window, and has set its sights on signing Ederson, the Atalanta midfielder, according to the website 'CaughtOffside'.

Ederson, who is 25 years old, is considered one of the standout midfielders in Serie A this season, having drawn attention for his significant abilities as a defensive midfielder and playmaker, making him a target for many clubs, especially in the Premier League.

United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, is aiming to rebuild the midfield, especially given Casemiro's decline in form and Manuel Ougartti's struggle to adapt.

United believes that Ederson can provide the necessary addition, thanks to his physical strength and ability to link defense and attack.

However, securing the player will not be easy, as Atalanta refuses to sell him at a low price, informing Manchester United that the deal will not be completed for less than £42 million.

Moving to the Premier League represents an ideal opportunity for Ederson, who is entering the best years of his career, and joining a club like Manchester United would be a significant step in his professional journey.
