<\/p>\n
Manchester United<\/a> have reached an agreement to sign Brazilian midfielder Ederson on a permanent deal from Atalanta, as per David Ornstein<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n After prioritising their attack last summer, the Red Devils are now looking to reinforce other areas of their squad.<\/p>\n In midfield, there were visible gaps and a clear need for a quality holding midfielder at the beginning of the season under former manager Ruben Amorim. This situation led to Bruno Fernandes being deployed occasionally in the pivot alongside Casemiro<\/a>, as the Portuguese did not fully trust the qualities of Kobbie Mainoo and Manu Ugarte.<\/p>\n However, the arrival of Michael Carrick in January brought about a complete turnaround, as he tweaked the system, bringing in Mainoo to partner with Casemiro, which allowed Fernandes to thrive up front, and he went on to win the league\u2019s best player award.<\/p>\n Still, Casemiro has confirmed his departure, while Ugarte\u2019s performances have been subpar, leading the club to explore other midfield options.<\/p>\n In recent weeks, reports via Football Talk<\/a> revealed the Red Devils have been \u2018pushing\u2019 to sign Atalanta\u2019s Ederson<\/a>.<\/p>\n It appears a deal has now been finalised, as David Ornstein<\/em> reports that Man Utd have reached an agreement for the permanent transfer<\/a> of Ederson to Old Trafford this summer.<\/p>\n The club also agreed on personal terms with the 26-year-old on a four-year deal with an option for an additional year, with medical formalities expected to follow next month, as per the report.<\/p>\n![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
