Man Utd’s move to sign Ederson collapses

Manchester United’s move to sign Atalanta star Ederson has failed, according to insider jameel.

The Red Devils have agreed a £38million deal with the Serie A club, which also includes add-ons for the Brazil international, who is representing his country at the World Cup this summer.

Ederson had agreed a five-year deal at Old Trafford, and was expected to complete a medical and formalities on his contract after the World Cup ends later this month. However, it has now been claimed that a deal has fallen through.

Ederson will not sign for Man Utd

According to a report on

It has been said that Ederson will no longer be signing for Manchester United, which is a huge blow for the Red Devils, who have already missed several midfield goals in the current window.

United had made Elliot Anderson their top target for the window, but the England star has since joined local rivals Man City from Nottingham Forest in a record £116m deal.

The club were also keen on a deal for West Ham’s Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes, but they were surprised by Tottenham Hotspur, who agreed to pay a fixed fee of £85m for the 21-year-old despite being in the Championship.

Man Utd pivot strategy?

GiveMeSport correspondent Sam Cohen reports Man Utd’s official view is that they still intend to proceed with the deal, but should they change their mind it could point to a change in strategy.

The club were keen to add three midfielders to their squad this summer following the departure of Casemiro and a serious knee injury to Manuel Ugarte, but with many goals missed, they will have to find a way to bring in fewer midfielders for the same money, as the market is demanding bigger fees.

For now, United say the deal is still up and running, but it will be monitored very closely in the coming weeks.
