Manchester United are moving to secure Atalanta midfielder Ederson, who has made Old Trafford his clear first choice this summer. Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Ederson is giving total priority to United despite another unnamed club making contact over his availability in recent days. Atalanta are understood to be ready to sell and are waiting for United to give the green light before finalising terms.
United manager Ruben Amorim is targeting at least two central midfielders this summer, with exits for Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro expected to clear space and funds in the squad. Atalanta manager Raffaele Palladino had already hinted at the situation when confirming that Ederson sat out a recent fixture due to discussions with a major foreign club. United are expected to make their move formal in the coming weeks.
