Manchester United are determined to strengthen after a lackluster start to the season. Ruben Amorim targets an essential Atalanta player capable of transforming the Mancunian midfield.
This player is none other than Ederson. At 25, the Brazilian midfielder is a stalwart for Atalanta, making 100 appearances and playing a key role in their Europa League victory last season. Already courted by Liverpool last summer, he finally continued his adventure in Serie A, where he continues to impress.
Ederson, the missing piece?
The Red Devils see Ederson as the solution to their midfield difficulties. His ability to defend, build and project offensively fits perfectly with the demands of the Premier League.
This transfer would also be a relaunch after mixed results with recruits from Serie A, like Rasmus Højlund. Despite these relative failures, United remains confident in the potential of Italian players.
A challenge for Manchester United
Atalanta, renowned for not giving up its players easily, could demand a considerable sum to let their Brazilian midfielder leave. But Manchester United seem ready to go all out to afford the services of a player capable of revitalizing their game.
If this transfer materializes, it will mark a turning point in the Red Devils’ season, confirming their ambition to regain their place among the English and European elite.
