Manchester United are reportedly leading the race to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson, with a bold attempt to snatch the Brazilian from under the noses of rivals Manchester City this summer.

While still hopeful of ending a disappointing season on a high with Europa League success, United are already laying the groundwork for a significant summer overhaul. New manager Ruben Amorim is expected to usher in a new era at Old Trafford, with sweeping changes planned as he shapes the squad in his own image.

Central to this transformation will be moving on a number of underperforming or surplus players. The likes of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Antony are among those expected to depart, generating crucial funds that will allow Amorim to pursue key targets without breaching the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSRs).
