Manchester United are considering signing Ederson, a 25-year-old central midfielder of Atalanta, during the January transfer period. High energy, tactical sense, and the capacity to dictate a game have seen Ederson become an essential figure at Atalanta since he joined the club. The Brazilian midfielder signed a contract that will expire in 2027, thereby, signing him could be a protracted decision but when you consider the skills he will bring to the Old Trafford, then it makes him a fantastic target.
United’s midfield has been problematic this season due to a lot of injuries and poor form. Ederson’s strength, which can be said to be both an organizer and a progressive passer could help provide the much-needed depth and cover in the position. Numerous sources claim that the new manager, Ruben Amorim, and the board members see him as a footballer perfectly suitable for both United’s approach to the game and long-term objectives.
Although there is no bid as we speak, information reveals that Manchester United highly rates Ederson and is keenly observing his situation. Atalanta might be interested in a reasonable fee though, the Brazilian midfielder comes with a long-term contract and is a crucial asset to the team. If there is to be any potential for a deal it will all boil down to whether United can persuade Atalanta to sell the player during the middle of the season.
As can be seen, the schedule is going to be very congested in the coming period. Having a player of such quality may help them turn their season around. Some fans will be keen to determine if this interest will lead to a definite prospect in the coming weeks.
One to keep an eye on as the January window opens up is this one as Ederson’s name starts to feature more and more in transfer speculations. Signing for Old Trafford could be a key step in United’s attempt to return to the level of the league’s best clubs.
After a sluggish start to the new campaign, Manchester United are eyeing a move for free agent Adrien Rabiot who have been heavily linked with the club throughout the summer. He could bring depth to the United roster as an ideal box-to-box midfielder this summer.
The French midfielder is available on a free transfer after leaving Juventus earlier this summer. With Mason Mount being out injured, Rabiot could address the biggest issue in the Manchester United midfield.
His experience and quality are desperately needed in United’s midfield ranks.
Manchester United are reportedly exploring a move for left-back Juan Cabal who joined Juventus from Hellas Verona in this summer window in a deal worth £10million. The Colombian defender is highly rated across Europe and could be a quality acquisition for the Red Devils.
Man United needs to bring in a long-term replacement for injury-prone Luke Shaw and the opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League would be an attractive proposition for the Colombian.
The South American has featured in three Serie A games so far and managed to keep clean sheets in all those games.
Despite a disastrous 2023/24 campaign with Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag kept his job over the summer and has signed quite heavily in the summer transfer window. But the pressure is now back on the Dutchman after a poor start to the new campaign and a thumping 3-0 defeat to Liverpool in their last game.
Man United chiefs Omar Berrada and Dan Ashworth have thrown support behind the Dutchman despite United’s sluggish start to the campaign. Ten Hag’s future has come under question once again after fans were seen booing the Dutch following the defeat to Liverpool.
Berrada said: “In terms of the contract, that was a decision that was taken prior to both of our arrivals. But we’re very happy with that decision. Erik has our full backing and we have worked very closely together, as Dan said before, in this [summer] transfer window. We’re going to continue working very closely with him to help him get the best results.”
Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes Erik ten Hag might lose his job if he fails to turn things around at Old Trafford in the next few months. Man United sustained a shameful 3-0 defeat by bitter rivals Liverpool on Sunday evening.
Earlier this summer, the Dutch manager claimed that he was ready to leave Old Trafford if the Man Utd hierarchy believes they have found a suitable replacement for him. Despite having one of the busiest summer windows in the Premier League, Man United showcased a lackluster performance in their third game of the season.
Neville believes Ten Hag will be given time until Christmas to turn things around the club. He said: ‘But Erik ten Hag is going to have to get the club into a position sort of challenging the Champions League towards Christmas, or else he’s going to be in trouble.’ He said.
‘He knows that.’
Belgian side Anderlecht are plotting a late move for Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen who lost his place at the club last season as he’s not part of Erik ten Hag’s plans in the ongoing campaign.
Anderlecht chief executive, Jesper Fredberg is a huge admirer of the Danish midfielder and is keen to sign the veteran in the last days of the Belgian transfer window. Eriksen has contributed three goals and 13 assists in 72 matches across all competitions for the Red Devils.
Belgian clubs have until September 6 to register new signings in the summer window.
Manchester United are eyeing up a move for Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson who has been identified as a long-term replacement to English defender Luke Shaw. Shaw has been sidelined with a calf injury and is expected to return after the international break.
United see Robinson as a long-term successor to the injury-prone Luke Shaw in the left-back position. The USMNT defender is contracted with Fulham until the summer of 2028 and has a price tag of around £30m.
The 27-year-old defender had a great start to the new campaign picking up two assists in the first three Premier League games.
Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has completed his season-long loan move to Chelsea with the club having the obligation to buy the England international for between £20-25m next summer.
Chelsea managed to submit a deal sheet before the 11 pm deadline and had until 1 am to complete Sancho’s transfer. The 24-year-old winger is expected to sign a long-term contract next summer. The former Borussia Dortmund winger ends his three-year disastrous spell with Man Utd.
United were keen to negotiate a permanent move for the England international but his £40 million valuation proved to be a major stumbling block.
Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has completed his move to rivals Chelsea on a season-long loan in the final hours of the deadline day. Personal terms have been agreed between all parties with Chelsea having the obligation to buy next summer.
The 24-year-old winger has returned to first-team training this season following a public spat with Erik ten Hag last season. However, Sancho was left out of United’s first two games of the Premier League season.
He now joins Chelsea where he might struggle to break into Enzo Maresca’s squad with so many players in his preferred position.
Manchester United have confirmed the signing of PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte in a €50m deal with €10m in add-ons. The Uruguayan midfielder traveled on Tuesday to complete his medical and has signed a five-year contract with the Red Devils.
The 23-year-old midfielder had been United’s No.1 midfield target throughout the summer window and the club made a formal move for the Uruguayan after they allowed Scott McTominay to join Napoli in a £25m deal.
Unfortunately, the Uruguayan midfielder won’t be able to make his debut against Liverpool on Sunday as United couldn’t get the paperwork completed before the Friday deadline.

A. Back when Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge of Manchester United, he was the main character heading the club’s recruitment policies SAF used to recruit and scout players having a significant role in the transfers alongside Les Chapman the Chief Scout and Head of Recruitment then. And, David Gill the former CEO of the club. However, currently, the manager’s involvement has surely reduced with the IENOS group’s management led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe overseeing the transfers of the club.
A. Manchester United are one of the richest football clubs in the world so spending a substantial amount of cash on transfers is quite accessible. They have signed some of the most expensive players in the world in the last decade — though not many of them have managed to make a significant impact such as Paul Pogba (£89m), Antony (£81m) Harry Maguire (£80m) and Romelu Lukaku (£79m).
A. The Premier League club have made four key reinforcements to their squad this summer. In defence, €62 million long-term investment Leny Yoro, promising Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt for €45 million and Noussair Mazraoui on €15 million both from Bayern Munich. In midfield, they have brought Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint Germain on a €50 million deal and In the forward line another Dutch international Joshua Zirkzee by paying €42 million.

A. Manchester United have secured some of the world’s finest young talents, who have etched history wearing club colours.
