The Red Devils need midfield signings, with Casemiro on his way out and doubts rising about the situation of Manuel Ugarte.<\/p>\n
Tuttomercatoweb<\/strong> report that Manchester United are intent on making a move for Ederson. While they haven\u2019t made an offer yet, there is optimism that he can very much end up at Old Trafford in the summer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Atletico Madrid have eased their grip on the player despite having agreed personal terms in January. There are great relations between La Dea and the Spanish side but despite that, Ederson is believed to be much more keen on a move to Manchester United.<\/p>\n Atalanta demand \u20ac50m and Michael Carrick\u2019s side may not have problems affording that. La Dea will use the funds to reinvent their midfield, with Maarten De Roon not getting any younger either.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In a way, the 26-year-old isn\u2019t the perfect Casemiro replacement. He is best as a number eight than as a number six but is someone who is much better at slowing tempo down, playing between the lines, beating the press and often popping up in advances areas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He can slot in as a six as someone who can receive deep and progress it. But Ederson\u2019s best comes slightly further forward, as he does mirror Kobbie Mainoo\u2019s skillset in a lot of ways. His versatility was used quite well by Gian Piero Gasperini\u2019s system, which made him drop into the backline many times, alllowing the wing-backs to maraud forward.<\/p>\n This improved him as a player, making sure he will add value at Manchester United.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Kaustubh Pandey I GIFN<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nEderson adds value to United<\/h2>\n
