The Red Devils are \u2018confident\u2019 of completing deals for both players when the transfer window reopens this summer.<\/p>\n<h3>Possible transfers<\/h3>\n<p>United are set for a big void in the heart of their midfield with Casemiro\u2019s exit. The 34-year-old has been brilliant in the back end of the <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/tag\/premier-league\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"21\" title=\"Premier League\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Premier League<\/a> season, chipping in with crucial goals from set-pieces. He has also stepped up with his defensive contributions too.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the turnaround, the decision has been made to part ways, probably due to his huge weekly salary. Ederson would be a good like-for-like replacement for his Brazilian compatriot. He is strong in duels and tackles and offers more distribution wise as well.<\/p>\n<p>Ederson has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sofascore.com\/football\/player\/ederson\/946888#tab:season\" rel=\"nofollow  noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">pass completion rate of 89%<\/span><\/a> in Serie A this season, compared to Casemiro\u2019s 81% in the Premier League. He would offer extra ball control in the centre of the park, which United are craving for as they seek to challenge for silverware next season.<\/p>\n<p>The Atalanta star could be prised away for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/sport\/football\/manchester-united-considering-40million-transfer-33925589\" rel=\"nofollow  noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">\u00a340 million<\/span><\/a> with his contract expiring next year. Tonali, on the other hand, is more of a central midfielder who likes to press forward. He can be erratic with his distribution at times but has the ability to change dynamic of games.<\/p>\n<p>Ederson is by far more affordable than Tonali, who will cost at least <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChronicleNUFC\/status\/2055277616353964345\" rel=\"nofollow \" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">\u00a3100 million<\/span><\/a> this summer. Newcastle plan to keep him otherwise. It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils proceed to sign both players or pursue alternative midfield targets.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--mvp-post-tags--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--posts-nav-link--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mvp-org-wrap\" itemprop=\"publisher\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n<div class=\"mvp-org-logo\" itemprop=\"logo\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-logo.png\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-logo.png\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-logo--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Football Talk | Premier League News\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-wrap-->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/232949\/man-utd-confident-of-agreeing-ederson-and-tonali-deals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Sky Sport Italy, Manchester United are confident of completing deals for Atalanta\u2019s Ederson and Newcastle United\u2019s Sandro Tonali during the upcoming summer transfer window.
