Ederson, who has only one year left on his current contract, is expected to sign a four-year deal at Old Trafford, becoming Michael Carrick’s first acquisition. The 26-year-old Brazilian's arrival marks the initial step in United's planned midfield overhaul, with Carrick aiming for at least two new central midfielders. Other potential midfield targets for United include Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni and Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, though Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson is more likely to join Manchester City. This transfer activity follows the departure of Casemiro on a free transfer after four years, with uncertainty also surrounding the future of Manuel Ugarte.In fullMan United agree deal for £35m Ederson to kick-start midfield rebuildThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
